250 Steering response issue

Discussion in 'Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres section' started by Matthewdemin, Jun 28, 2021.

  1. I went for a drive the other day in a friend's car and was surprised that his car reacts much more sharply to turning the steering wheel !!
    back immediately goes to the front. no delay like mine
    set out to do the same for myself
    he has a kw var3 mark on his car and stock wheel alignment angles
    I have kw clubsport on my car and the front settings are -2 degrees of camber and -0.05 toe per wheel !!
    rear settings in stock
    one difference he have advan rs - r18 8,5wide and et51 with 225-45 ps4 Michelin
    and I have td 1.2 - 8j et45 with 235-40 ad08r

    I checked the whole suspension, no problems were found !!
    what can affect steering responsiveness
     
  2. Wheel Offset? (Scrub radius change?).
    My only experience of this was testing different width hub spacers with OEM Tibor alloys: 15mm spacer felt numb and more remote. 5mm spacer felt sharper and more responsive, similar to no spacer.
    Plenty of people running wheel specs like yours though so sure they can comment.
     
  3. I also think that wheel offset influences this so much. I'll try one of these days the same wheels as were on his car. I swear it helps
     
  4. I have another question
    are the settings of the steering rack on phase 1 and 2 the same? I mean the algorithms for their work and settings
