Car Feels likes its on rails....and not in a good way
driving my car on an uneven road has gotten almost scary. Its got great handling, responds very well and hugs corners but the minute i get it on a random shitty road it pulls like crazy to one or the other side..depending on which direction the road slants
its a 1998 camaro Z28
suspension mods include:
Koni/BMR package
Kenny Brown Subframe connecters <---Im thinking this might be the culprit
tower strut brace
wheels and tires are 17/9.5 TT2's with 275/35/17 tires
is this normal?

So is it common? Yes, unfortunately these cars are notorious for this railroading feature where they try to follow grooves and imperfections in the road. Taking a look at the alignment will be able to tell a lot more.

I run 315s in my rear and 275s up front. In these newer areas of town where the roads are new I don't feel it at all. There is one particular road on the older side of town that it does it to me real bad. Very common problem but like BMR said, check your alignment specs because some toe out or in will definitely help pull it.
Wouldn't hurt to check your tie rods either. If there going out, the wheel will definitely push or pull wherever the road tells it to.

I'll third BMRs feedback. My car did it all the time with 275s; one of the side effects of an aggressive alignment with a ~10" wide tire on the front.

Thanks guys, appreciate all the feedback. Ill have to run it to a local shop around here and see what they think as far as maybe a good alignment is concerned. Hopefully i dont need new wheels/tires..but if i do i guess thats all the reason i need to finally get a set of Iforged Aero's and nt555's
