    is anyone else having the cross wind problem or is it just me?

    well, i feel a lot of cross winds while driving on highway. my friend's rsx or my dad's gs300 feels A LOT more stable and smooth, almost like as if the wind is not even affecting the car.

    it could be the wind noise level, but i DEFINITELY feel the cross winds pushing the car left and right.
    hopefully i wont feel it so much after replacing my steering rack bushings.

    Lower the car a little bit and it should help, the car has a lot of lift at highway speeds. The Prodrive lip and rear spoiler do a lot to help the aerodynamic lift that the car exhibits stock.

    Yeah, if you can't tell just by appearance, we don't drive the most aerodynamic of vehicles :)

    i also have been blowing around a little bit at highway speeds due to crosswinds. thought it was just me, good to hear its not just my imagination.

    You bought the wrong car if you wanted aerodynamics. The bugeye has the aerodynamics of a brick. I still love mine though

    hehe, aerodynamics of a brick.. it takes a lot to love my bugeye, but it is SLOWLY getting to where i want it to.. hopefully installing the steering rack bushings will minimize some of these affects.

    You might have toe-out in the car. If either the front or the rear has toe-out on it, the car will be much less stable. A few hundredths of a degree of toe-in does wonders for stability.
