  1. my corrado has been off road for a few weeks now due to waiting for my head back,but it doesnt stop me thinking about next job.it dont seem to handle very well esp on bypass at 70+.it doesnt feel safe.its had wishbones,drop links,tie rods,track rods cv joints and top mounts not long ago.also its got a clonk at low speeds from os front if i go over a speed bump or brake.its on bilstein struts with spax lowering springs.ive had it checked on a ramp for play but all seems fine.also on a roundabout if i boot it a little it feels like the steering wheel is rocking from side to side.i was thinking about coilovers as next job unless anyone can tell me whats wrong.cheers
