so i have had them for about a more then a year now and the other day i was i95 and it was raining.so is it normal to have i sliding around when you hit bumps cause i was s***ting my self feeling the back end slide around i thought it might be the dampeners might need replace but they feel like they are still good i also had to people in the back i wonder if that contributedanyways would getting coilovers solve the problem or hopefully are there any dampeners out there that are sporty that i could replace mine with cause i know there was talk about some koni ones but i think that fell through.

1. Slow down.2. Are you sure you were not hydroplaning?3. No, it's not normal for the car to slide around. Check to make sure everything is tight.

Edit: Extra weight in the back might make it do this, get a sticker... "No Fat Chicks" :P.

Yeah I was thinking it was the weight since it usually doesn't do it and I did have a full car but all the girls in the back weighed less then130 so was thinking it might have been somthing else but I did have a oh s*** moment when I saw. 328 spinning in front of me and he hit a wall I just think that section of the high is badly made cause I seen to many accidents on that sectionFor those from miami its right after the US1 junction on the curve

Was the rain just starting? if it did you might have hit an oil patch, when rain first starts it usually draws out whatever oil residue is left on the asphalt thus causing the roadway to be a bit more slick.

What tires are you running?

If its the stock 2.5 tires i think that is the problem. I am still running the stock tires and have about 18,000 miles on them. I slide all the time in the rain, they are really crappy

no back end flail whatsoever my only problems during raid (which is damn near every day here in WA) is wheel spin and pushing out of corners.

Of course if I were to leave traction control on........
