Drifting with Comptech/Koni setup
Drifting with Comptech/Koni setup
My Dad's had this setup on his car for about 5k.
See: http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...=comptech+koni
Anyway, the car has started to drift at highway speeds if hands aren't on the steering wheel at all times. It's just a subtle drift (even on flat surfaces), it doesn't pull like an alignment problem, and it doesn't tend to go only to one side. I rarely drive the car and mine still has a stock suspension. So I'm not sure if this is normal with the comptech/koni setup. My Dad seems to think the problem is getting worse. Anybody experience this same issue?

I've got the same setup as your pops. No drifting here. On a straight road if i let go of the wheel it remains straight.
If he's had it on that way for only 5k i can't imagine a major problem. How many miles on the tires?

One or a combo of 3 things...
1) tire pressure
2) alignment
3) radial pull (tire imperfection ... rare)
Like mattg said... try cross rotation first (after you check and equalize all tire pressures). If rotation and tire pressure check don't work, get an alignment.
