man you guys are ruthless here!

I have the same problem, and aero can help, or bigger tires and less bar in the front, greater stifness in the rear bar will help as well.

Have fun!

Dood, yur problem iz so eazy too fix mannn! To much aire is going under yer car, cuasing yer front end 2 lift of da ground. May I recommend this very effective aero device for your car:








































Hahaha. I just got back from the Roval at Cal Speedway, and that's the most impressive amount of rich ppl bringing track toys that I've ever seen. It made me feel so insignificant being right next to the Radical camp with their street cars (Ferraris, GT3s, Bentleys, etc) all parked next to the race cars. Recession? What recession?

Add chasiss bracing. That will solve your handling problems due to chassis twist.

Put JDM air in the front tires. The USDM air is crap.

I've heard this thing is called "understeer" and I'm looking for the best way to tune it out.

I'm thinking of putting 285s up front with 255s in the rear to help with front cornering grip. Also thinking about removing the FRONT swaybar to help the rear come around.

What do you think?
































Sorry, had to do it.
Silly season is driving me crazy. I need to move someplace warm. Durn snow.
Get snow tires and try to dodge the ice. It helps the turning!

you need to stay on the brakes as you turn in to bring the backend around

might take some getting used to but you'll know when it works

don't be scared
