Back End All Over 2001 WRX
i have a bug eye 2001 WRX, only had it a few weeks. its already had all the drop links changed for the test but its my first scoob and need to ask if i have a problem on the rear shocks/springs or maybe tyres
going in a straight line over bumps the back end seems to skip out and bounce around a lot. i know i have really cheap crap tyres on and i will be changing them but is this a common thing! also on corners its very easy for the rear to slide.
or does it need the geometry setting up
cheers in advance

I have a MY2002 Bugeye wrx with whiteline solid droplinks and 22mm adustable whiteline rear antiroll bar set on middle and even when I push hard the back end is reluctant to go. (I have 18" wheels on Pirellis at the moment). I am contemplating setting on hard to feel the difference.

I have my Whiteline ARB set on "stiffy" - almost gives me a stiffy driving it cos the handling is razor sharp ! 
Also had pish tyres on my Scoob when I got it and it cheerfully chucked its tail out at the first sight of a raindrop. Now have Toyo T1Rs - grippy as a very grippy thing !
