Swiftwizard Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Ive had my 350 for a week now. Had my geometry reset to factory settings with CS / Mitesh in Leicester. Great guy by the way - really helpful and made time to meet up and sort it even though he had a hectic schedule - so thanks Mitesh! Result: steering dead on centre now (was off to the right) . CAr feels good and stable at normal speeds but on motorway high speeds it still feels like theres not enough road feedback coming through the steering wheel and not enough precision in the steering. (Tyres are all good by way.) Anyone else notice this? I know the roads are cold at the moment which doesnt help but my Integra Type R in this weather delivers tight precise steering with tons of feedback in the steering. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 What brand of tyres you running? What tyre pressures you running? Alex. Quote
Swiftwizard Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 Falken Fk 452 on front and Bridgestone RE050 rear at 35psi Quote
rich5259 Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 +1 on pressures and make sure you have the same tyres front and rear Quote
ZMANALEX Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Falken Fk 452 on front and Bridgestone RE050 rear at 35psi You have answered your own question They are both good brands of tyres but mixing is not advised with the Zed. Alex. Quote
M13KYF Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 plus the Integra Type R is far lighter than the Zed. Will feel alot different Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I appreciate all the arguments for not mixing tyres and agree with most of them. The OP, however, is complaining of a dead feel to the steering and I fail to see how mixing tyres can contribute to this. I'm of the opinion that it is more than likely a case of getting accustomed to a rwd car after having a fwd. Quote
SimonKevNorris Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 I think part of the problem of different tyres front and rear is that it's possible that the grip levels could be different - I would then assume that this could result in a change of balance to the car. Quote
Swiftwizard Posted December 26, 2009 Author Posted December 26, 2009 All this about differnt tyres / rear wheel drive etc seems like good advice , however the tyres are in virtually new condition. The steering ought to be crisper nevertheless. Just wander if getting new bushes might make the difference? Quote
ChrisS Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 Hi, no comment on the subject of your post. You'll notice after time on the forum that a lot of people are advised to pm ZMANALEX or R35LEE. Alex has probably forgotten more about Zeds than some of us know.(well,me for one) I only suggest, trust Alex,he knows his stuff/zeds. ATB Chris Quote
