Hello gents , I’m trying to get my cutlass to handle properly , not trying to make a race but a good street/road car that I can confidently hit corners with
So far I have partly rebuilt steering linkage and suspension
New drop spindles ball joints and tie rods
New springs uncut 5660 in front and bmr 1.5” drop springs in rear with bilstein shocks all around
Stock front sway bar with new links ,and a 442 steering box
I have a stock alignment done , and the tech told me I could get a kit that would allow for more shims to dial it in better ?
Anyway , I had a chance to punch the car through some corners this weekend and while it is better than before , it is still fear inducing when charging a flat corner at any speed
The suspension is stiffer but I feel the unloaded side of the car “lift up” in corners where it used to sway to the side , not much better .
Anyway I hope I have described this in a way one can understand lol
What is my next step to get this car planted in the corners ?
Thank you for your consideration , pics because everyone likes pics
