I installed sportlines and a adjustable panhard. Centered it immediately after setting it down. Took it out and rolled into it in 2nd. When I hit the 2-3 shift hard it spun and the car veered to the right. What adjustment do I need to make?

I would recommend front struts at least...the struts are set up for stock spring travel and they're outside of their comfort zone being lowered. I had no such problem with springs, front struts and rear lower control arms. Did you install these mods with any power mods? My car felt like a different animal with cai, x pipe and tune.

LCAs and real tires will remedy your problem all things considered.

From what I drove of the car, it tracked great and handled great. Only issue was the one power shift I did.
I did have 2 other people in the car and a trunk full of groceries.

Only things I can think of are you hitting a bump on that shift that made you veer right or a bad LSD. If you don't have LCAs buy them ASAP, they change the whole feel of the car.

So it happened once? try it again on a good surface.

Yeah. I had limited time to try. But it's never, ever done that.

Weird stuff only happen when you're with someone that's a major rule haha

Hopefully it was from the surface, I didn't put mine on the car yet so keep us posted I want to know all about it. Check the panhard adjustment again maybe it needs adjustment after you drive it.

Stiffer spring paired with the lcas not parallel anymore will give you major traction issues. Usually when a car is spinning the back end will want to come out so you just have to correct for it. Get some LCAs and relocation brackets.

Yeah like the others are saying, stock shocks and struts will bounce a lot with those springs. When you do the upgrade get some heavy duty sway bars to keep that horse on track!

he already has the highest rate stock front sway (stock GT) so you would have to go aftermarket i think a few have them stiffer.. nascar guys run huge 2.5" carbon fiber tubes with splined ends attaching billet aluminum arms all spherical bearings.

if you put a bigger boss 25mm or laguna 26mm rear sway bar on its going to promote more over steer. when i put the larger boss bar on the back it was like my car had a set of air springs that would pump up the rear end going around a corner.. with the factory 24mm bar the car tended to squat in back around the same corner and eventually start to push under neutral throttle.

If your car has never "stepped out" on a hard shift you're taking it too easy. :lol1:
I'm thinking with the extra people you may have been a little "hard" on the shift/throttle, to show-off. Completely subconsciously of course. :lol1:

BTW: It looks great lowered. :rockon:
