Default what can it be

ok so i was playing in the rain with my car. so i would drift to the left and the care seems fine. i would drift to the right and the car feels like its sagging. what can it be? i am currently using my eibachs and stock shocks. but it seems to only happen when i drift to the right. my guess is shock, but if so then wouldn't it do it on the other side as well? thanx in advance.

when you say drifting to the left meaning turning to the left and the tail swings out to the right, correct? i think it would be your shocks giving you this but it could be some perception from your extra weight on one side. how significant is the sag, i know its not the greatest question but im assuming like you that its shocks

yes the car is completely sideways and i am at full counter steer. and what i mean about sags is like i when i am in the slide it seems to be very uneven in the rear and it almost feels as if the car wants to tip but only in the rear. which in turn feels as if the car is twisting. i know i am not that good

basically any high end coilover will be rebuildable hks, jic etc. i was just talking about picking up like some koni yellows that are revalved to match whatever spring you have exactly.

to get the shocks rebuilt you have to send them to an authorized dealer to be sent out to be rebuilt. koni's are easy and can be done at a lot of places around the US. Koni shocks are high quality and are a nice mix between performance and comfort.

but i read koni's infor and they are saying if its used for offroad/race they will not stand by their product. oh well i am awaiting a complete coilover system to make sure i can adjust to track conditions. just haven't decided on a good setup yet.

HKS Hypermax coilovers here. They're 100% rebuildable and excellent while sideways.
