What a coincidence, I put bigger tires on and drive like that, too!
I had to do an awful lot of spring rate tinkering, though. Testing on Saturday evenings was done in bumper to bumper, door to door traffic.
I'm very pleased with the handling now, and think there will be more improvement in the future. The cars need to be stiffened up a bunch with harder bushings everywhere, I've only done a few so far. A new Addco front sway bar is awaiting installation too, this is supposedly a big improvement for the GTs.
I think the people who knock the GT's handling are taking it to the very farthest limits, you know when you are there when you exceed the limits, BAZ put a picture in a thread somewhere of me doing that, I call it my "double nickel backwards shot".
Don't try this at home without a good solid rollcage, safety seat, harness, helmet, window net, fire extinguisher, flagman, tow truck, and cheering section.
For a real thrill, try a 720 degree spinout in heavy traffic. I have no idea how it's done, it just happened.
The biggest complaint I've heard is the understeer characteristics, also known as pushing. It is very fixable, some rear roll oversteer helped mine quit doing that. GT's have some already but more did the trick for me. ANother factor is the front spring rate, stock isn't stiff enough when put to the test.
