Understeer

[wontonjohnny]

hey guys, my car understeers.
i have performance springs that droped my car 1.75 inches
if i put on a strut bar will it help get rid of the understeer or will it make it worse???

you'll never get rid of understeering on a FF car... but u can just make it better ... i mean to extend the limit of the car's handling..

ya.. the strut bar would help.. but not that much...


so what u should think about is what tires u are using(low profile? good grip?)...
and also.. just springs alone is not good enough for handling.. do all the struts too ,man...
and if u want more, go for sway bar.. (get the rear first since u got a FF car)


oh ya... and one most important thing.. understeer or not also depends on how do u make the turn.. if u just turn the steer fast and make the turn.. then no matter u got a F1 it would still out of control...
you should turn the steering wheel slowly.. and also follow the out-in-out thing...
i don't mean i'm an expert here.. but those are just from my experiance..

An RSB would help alot in reducing understeer...
(and im pretty sure a strut bar would only make it worse)

[wontonjohnny]

yeah that what i thought too... so a stiffer sway bar would be the best mod then right.

out-in-out thing

That is referred to as apexing. The apex being the center point of the turn. That does make a huge difference.

get sum performance struts as well... improves the ride greatly... specially if ur stock struts r old...
