My local 86er's are asking me this question, since they have been hearing complain about the understeer when I drive their cars. So I am all ears.


Thanks Mike.
Imo start with alignment, get more camber up front, zero the toe up front. With just front camber adjustment I can turn my otherwise stock car from understeering pig to oversteering whore (going from less than 3 degrees to significanly more than three degrees because I don't have enough camber in the rear yet, maybe when I get the best camber in the rear I'll need to change springs and dampers to find balance again). And I can do that on the fly with a jack and an Allen wrench.

It's all a balancing game and will depend on where the setup is at, throwing springs and tires and sways is a waste imo if the tires aren't pointed in the right direction. The grip locked away by factory settings to preserve tire wear and foolish lives is significant.
