Hi,

I have a 2003 GS300 sport design with the following suspension mod:

• TRD Blue Sways - Front and Rear with their bushings.
• Stance GR+ Coil overs "no finger gap"
• EXACT Front RCA w/ new ball joints and new trailing arms
• 18x9 wheels w/ 245/40/18 BFgoodrich super sports 36-38PSI
• front upper strut mount for show?
• TRD low front chasis brace

so... when i turn into something... i get "BEEP BEEP BEEP"

car feels a bit coasty but i'm handling it..... not going to wipe out.... but this beep kinda freaks me out!!!

What else can i do to get better handling so this car don't beep anymore or not as much?

oh yeah. i'm set like 4 clicks from full stiff..

is it becuz i only have front RCA and the balance f' up???

 

You only get that beep from excessive wheel spin. Either you need to slow down when turning or just turn the traction control off.

 

I got the beep for the first time the day lol... I spun the tires a little while turning in the rain and heard "beep" "beep".. I didn't know what it was .... now i know... Thanks

 

Yeah, just turn off the traction control by pushing the VSC OFF button next to the shifter and it won't beep at you . Just be careful because trac is off at that point and the car can sidestep pretty easily if you push it hard. Make sure your driving skills are up to par, the last thing we want is you posting up in here a week later about going into a ditch lol.

 

To OP,

you have over 2,700 post on CL and you dont know how your traction control works. lol

 

Lol yeah! Just looking what to do to reduce it. Perhaps better tires?


Yes i've been getting it more lately since i upgraded to TRD blues!

Yes, i know to be careful. Funny thing is that i don't even gas it... and on some turns.. the VSC goes off!

I know how it works! I really think it is with my suspension setup!


Everyone, honestly to say... i think my car is unbalanced because i have FRONT RCA but no REAR!

Either i go buy and install rear RCA to match with front.. or i'm on the urge to remove the Front RCA!

Any suggestions ?

 

I've never heard my traction control beep..

 

Mine beeps now and then, I have had it beep and I yelled back at it "what are you yiping about?!" I didn't think it should have gone off at all. Normally I am well aware it is going to yell at me for having fun in a corner.

 

Haha, all this beeping talk is making me want to try it out. I've never heard my car beep through a turn.

 

What i would suggest is either drive slower, or just turn it off lols.. IMHO it kind of throws you off going into a corner and it cuts off your throttle... ahaha or if you really think your car is unbalanced take it to a shop and do corner balancing.

This is my setup and it is really similar to yours.

Stance GR (re-valved) Swift springs 24kg/22kg
Trd Front and Rear sways
Ikeya Formula front LCA and rear LCA
40mm RCA's up front
Brand new Endlinks/ lower ball joints/ inner tie rods/ outer tie rods
18x10 +11 18x12 -14 225/4018 Dunlop DZ101's 245/40/18 Federal 595's

 

Just remove the front RCA lol

 

If you're planning to drive aggressive in the corners, what about getting wider tires in the rear?

 

lmao. Hey! I've drivin into a ditch b4.

 

youre just turning outside the performance of your car/tire/suspension combo.

stay within its limits to minimize the beep or turn it off completely.

ive spun out a few times before. ****s cray cray.

 

Does your car Hydroplane on dry roads..I may know the problem...Alrithgty..
