not too sure VSA cause this, but i don't think so.. however, try starting with ARB and then adjustable (TIEN or GAB).. Wink

I think I have to same problem as u last time under wet conditions.
Do you also get the rear swinging feeling when u turn sharply?

Try sending to Quicksave and do checking on wheel alignment and balancing. My swaying problem was fixed after that.

Your problem is potentially very dangerous, so check it out today.

I have this problem and was very worry about that too. There are two main reason that cause this to happen.

1st, ofcoz its the tire grip. With new and better tire, you wont have tht problem anymore. BUT surprisingly, after 5-6 months, you can slowly have that problem occur again.

2nd, I found out that my rear wheels is having "toe in" and after the adjustment, it improve abit.

STILL, I believe its not only due to tires and the wheel alignment or balancing. I believe its the whole suspension system of our FD sux big time. With all necessary chassis strengthening bars and fully adjustable suspension, my car now started to have this problem occur again (after 6 months of changing new tires). Giving me a real big headache.

Just my 2cents....dont fire me... Very Happy

Well, fundamentally, don't drive so fast on wet road.

Having said that, VSA tries its best to keep you pointed in the same direction, by applying brakes / cutting power to the individual wheels as necessary.

However, your car is still subjected to the laws of physics, so it will still spin out of control if the VSA cannot compensate.

If you see it blinking, it would be a good time to go easy on the throttle.
