i have a problem with my rear losing stability and traction during corners at about 100kph.
i'm using standard absorbers, Hotbits springs and 205/40/17 hankook rubbers.

anyone can help?

Adjust the rear camber settings. Giving it a slightly more negative camber will increase the amount of rubber touching the tarmac in corners.
Do you have a rear crossmember and rear strutbar yet? Those increase stability as well. Are you sure no parts of the rear suspension are worn?

I agree get a rear cross member made mine more tight

sorry man, i live in malaysia..its very hard to get performance parts for mx3. but i do know that strut bars can be custom made. do i need to remove all the plastic covers if i install rear strut?

my rear camber is 1'30"..is that ok?

play with the front and rear toe until you feel it is more suitable to your driving style.

if you have a rear sway bar, you can make your own stab links out of heim joints, this allows the sway bar to be adjustable, and will handle like a gokart.
