I did more damage to the front than the rears and I smoked the rears many times during the day. Also standing on the breaks at 185kmh into that first left doesn’t help them much either!!! Best fun I had on the road for some time without worrying about cops.

I found I had a huge problem with my starion cos it had lowered k-mac springs all round but had stock shocks in the rear, every time I spun the wheels it would axle tramp. I actually broke a tailshaft because of it one time. The only way you will overcome it is with expensive shock absorbers.
