Front End Lightness?

Cant figure this out. After my JB+ and new set of tires the front feels 'light' during hard acceleration. Any else experience this?

some people have attributed a 'softer suspension' to the change from RFTs to regular tires.

The JB just adds to your perception ;D

Add a set of dampers with better valving, problem solved.

Koni FSDs and Sport Yellows are great with either stock or aftermarket performance springs(H&R, BMW Performance...etc.)
