If its really that terrible, I'll swap the rears for 8s... But I have a feeling the issue is over hyped for 95% of street driving... Sure, maybe when Im really pushing it super hard on a back road i might notice a difference... But in all honesty, understeer/oversteer is not a realistic issue on my commute to and from work. I dont know about where you live and drive, but here in Baltimore city its frowned upon to take corners so hard your tires squeel on a regular basis.

I once bought a 98 vw gti that had a staggered setup left on it from the previous owner. I imagined the handling would be horrid, being fwd and all, and expected to swap the wheels asap... Well, I never got around to it, drove it for two years, hard, and never had any issues. Was there understeer? You betcha! Was it a huge problem? No, anytime I noticed it, I realized I should probably be driving more responsibly on the street lol. Maybe Im getting old.

I wouldn't run this setup on a track car, but for cruising to work, I think the issue might be overblown. Will report back with results!
