I actually think I really learned what is going on here this week when I put Drag radials on the car.

With the drag radials the high speed stability problem became more pronounced. I have come to the conclusion that this is due to the Phantom Grip rear end acting like a spool while you are going straight and your initial steering inputs from straight are fighting the rear tires. This is causing an amplified amount of steering hysteresis when the steering box is centered. No feeling of instability around a high speed curve.

Any other Phantom grip users notice this?
