got 17s, lowerd 40mm, just noticed driving today when i got the 17s back on, when u go over bumpts ect the steering snaps to the side and pulls the car over toward the bump then bakc, its a white nuckle job to hold the car strait, tracking is meant to be fine ccording to ats

quite a bit of pull on the camber of the road but thats just because of the wide wheels, but if i hit a light pot hole i cant stop the car bouncing and turning itself onto the other side of the road lol, in my opinion, not safe

 , so its normal for it to jump out of my hand hiting bumps?
just want to know if it is  just incase theres something not done right on the car that makin g it unsafe. doesnt really bother me that much,
other thing is 1 of the front wheels, the disk or whatever the bolts go into is a bit fucked in 1 of the holes, the bolt tightens right up but its a struggle to tighten , threads are fucked, and bad creaking when turning going really slow like parking, maybe just because its harder for it with more rubber on the road

looks nice only think im really botherd about is wether it is safe that ive grinded a few mm, maybe 4 off the rods at the front and bent the pin around the side so i can get the center caps on, the threads re ok. but with the center caps on at the front it looks alot beter lol
just back in from scraping hamerite paint off 1 of my drums, painted it red, didint like it so went over with black, because this 1 has now got 2 coats its realy thiick and looked like it had been painted with tar  lol the rest were ok because i didint put red on under, the calipers are ok ish, couldnt get them propper smoothe but the blacks just to cover rust, But scraping the paint off this drum to do it again is fucking hard job  scrappies wanted 20 quid for a rusty old drim, bearings werent init or anything coz they stuck on the axle , so i told him to forget that and started scraping might try and grind the paint off lol probably a bad idea, for now i have a quarter rusty, quarter shiny, quarter red quarter black all mixed together driver side drum very sixy
