Default traction in rain with new sways

will putting daizen or trd sways on the gs4 adversely affect the cars stability and traction for instance, going around a 270 degree wet on-ramp to a freeway???? whatever the answer may be, would it apply to going around a wet turn on a country road?

It will IMPROVE traction in all conditions over the sloppy stock sways because the tires will stay more square relative to the road surface and therefore be able to grip better.

yes as bit says it will but at the same time you have to be very careful not to under estimtae your speed in a corner for the sways will reduce dramactically your roll sensation and you will misjudge how fast in the wet you are actually doing and therefore push the tires to limit of adhesion


in other words BE CAREFUL

lfl makes a good point. I can drive like a bat out of hell in my car. Not that I ever would of course.

My new brakes and diff give me a chance of reigning it in better though.
