You may also be running too soft a rear spring rate relative to the front spring rate, causing the car to have excessive understeer and destroy the front tire. What's the overall balance of the car like? Lastly, the RE-71R is better suited for autocross than DE or extended circuit work, so maybe you're just overdriving the tire.


Thanks for the reply.


Im running Tein Street flex 7k/7k. I am actually running Eibach sway bars all around. Both on full stiff settings. The car DOES tend to understeer more than oversteer on throttle. Could it also be my driving? I feel like O go in to hot into a corner, resulting in the tire scrubbing of speed. Im probably wrong
