i dunno if its just me or other S owners feel it too.
when i drivin along a very long turn or corner, i sometimes cant feel the rear of the car. a scary feelin of dont know when will the rear swing out. my old FD rx7 i just slam the gas and it jus stick on ground like a rail, but not the S. anymore has same feelin wit me?

are you a new owner? maybe just need some more time behind the wheel to adjust? what type of tires/rims are you running?

^bingo...for the first few months i couldnt anticipate the s2k around a corner, now i can and even induce oversteer for fun.

yeah i find i need to be a lot more mindful of how i handle this car or it will handle me.

i am feeling the same way too. especially in the rain

we have a long ass hood and the position where we sit is so near the rear wheels. Probably that's why . Well at least whenever we make a turn, we don't need to worry too much about if our rear wheels are gonna scratch the curb or not.

Who's been succesful at reducing the oversteer? I am getting some PSS9's soon and gonna soften out the rear as well as try some wider rears next year. I love the flickability of the S but I hate how finnicky it is. It used to freak me out with the oversteer but at least now it just makes me groan lol.

you guys need the REAR BUMPSTEER KIT. especially on ap1's, on sweepers with bumps, the rear end can be a lil unstable and unpredictable.

get the rear bumpsteer kit and it will eliminate the sudden toe changes during compression

or, you just need to learn to drive better and get used to it

yup, i really think i should get that kit. In rainy days, whenever my car pass through rough roads, my tail felt very unstable and will shake right and left suddenly but will also recover right away. this feelin is kinda annoying.
when its sunny day i drive like a moron, but when rainy days, im even slower than my grandma lol. i use the stock S02's HAHA

Stock S02's can be scary tires, dry or wet.
The bumpsteer kit will help alot as well, but then again, you have to overcome that yourself as a driver too.
