    right since stripping the car there is no weight in the back and when i use the brakes not sharp but not steady neither round a corner my car wants to try and drift lol i have 306gti brake conversion car is not lowered.

    wil it need to be lowered about 60mm to cure this problem?

    don't brake when going round a corner its not the right way to drive and you'll end up spinning

    brake before the corner .. turn in and accelerate from the apex.

    Fitting stiffer dampers to the front and increasing the spring rate can help slow the weight transfer to the front of the car that can help calm a light / twitchy rear.. as will lowering the car also

    If you are going round a corner fast and you even lift off the throttle pedal even a little let alone brake your car will want to spin. Hence why you should never drive like that on the road.

    I don’t really think lowering or hardening the suspension will really help you it will just tend to make a car brake away from you even more suddenly. If anything your are going to want a softer rear anti role bar.

    Sounds like you were simply just going to fast.
