Hello, I have a bmw 325 coupe, e30 series, the problem is on slippery roads especially on curvs, even with new bridgestone tyres, and a very low speed, there is and understearing, what is the problem, is it the shok absorbers, and what is the right kind of them for this car?

Have the car safety inspected, there may be worn shocks yes. The right type is a good question, my opinion is Bilstein shocks.
