Default Tein flex's

I've had them on my car for at least 6 months, I however have it set very low, for the look. It's setup on about medium stiffness. It handles decent when i have to make an abrupt turn or lane switch however when I make a fast long or wide turn, the car stars to oversteer. I realize that this is most likely from being so low so I'm willing to make changes to have the car handle better than stock ( if possible). I'm running 255s in rear, (CR setup) which i read is fine. My question is, how do I setup the suspension to where it should be and what else can I do to make the car really grip the road? I can put suspension on and off but when it comes to tuning it, I'm lost.
Thanks for any help

corner balancing will help A LOT!!!
as far as your height specs, you can go too low and itll handle poorly. when in doubt, take it to a shop that knows how to set it up properly if youre unsure to yourself.

go to teins website and check for "recommended" settings. They have the install PDF's there.

Once you figure out the height you wanted corner balance it like other have said

it's one of those thing that if you have to ask, you'll better off taking it to the pro

most guys can adjust all the part but not much people know how to set it up right.

What would happen if I gave it more neg camber and kept it low? Besides tire wear being worse?
