rear steer is horrible.

Rear steer, fundamentally, is VERY unstable, and pretty much unfixable at speed. Think forklift. They do NOT go straight normally. They want to wander hither and thither.

The rear suspension is done. I used an air shock. Pretty neat as you can easily set the ride height, and it is VERY progressive.
I drove it hard tail. Not horrible, but too stiff.

Air shock much better.

Rear tire is small skinny.

Front tires are 16x7, and i tried some 17x7. Looks NICE.

I think the real market is performance commuter. No one cares about a car which will get 80 mpg, but EVERYONE seems interested in a cool car which flat frigging SMOKES a vette and gets 50mpg.
