Default back end

basically i wanna try to tune my rear suspension to give the back end some more grip. The one thing i noticed under heavy cornering is that the back is kind of unpredictable. once it snaps it really goes. any tips on how to get rid of this?

thanks

Someone's going to chime in: "Get an AP2"

There are probably swaybar adjustments people will suggest to dial in more understeer.

Keeping fresh rubber and / or wider tires may help as well.

For under $1k you can put on aftermarket traction control to help limit the slip and make it more progressive when it does start to go.

front sway, lower the rear about 10mm relative to the front if still stock, uk alignment, better tires, better driving

I'd bet you $5 that you're running 225 tires in the rear when you should have 245's. Get some nice sticky 245's, that'll help out a good bit but I think the only way to "get rid of" the problem is to buy a different car.
