Otherwise you have to back off the throttle, shift weight to the front with a tap of the brakes if lifting isn't enough and unwind the steering wheel a bit to get front grip back. But once you get it back, you can literally yank the car back on line.

Now, this isn't the end of the world. A good alignment and a little more roll stiffness (through stiffer springs or larger sway bars) should let this car explore 10/10ths and keep the balance we love so much. I have the RCE Suspension Starter Kit going on this week. That should take care of what I'm experiencing and unlock the upper 10ths. This car with good tires has amazing levels of grip. I can't wait to see what happens with a good alignment.
Any reviews on cruise 80% 90% 100% with the new ride height/ spring rate swap? I'm curious how it respond and if you put any camber into it? I know the lightswitch understeer is tunable but want to hear your experience thus far!
