Understeer

Dwnshift · 07-07-2012, 02:21 PM

There are so many factors to set up and making the car truly come to life....
Tires are great for overcoming issues...but they are truly a band aid.
Front ride height is major league critical.....and yes there is a to low.
Rear ride height can have a bigbeffect on apex out.
Spring rates and bars...... and def differential settings are vital to a well balanced car....
Even brake pads can be a very frustrating evil that will cause a huuuge understeer.
To truly understand understeer ....you need to know where the understeer starts in a corner and why.
Sometimes.....it can be simply driver induced.

AMEN

Haha I had a combination of going with the Eibach Front Sway Bar along with getting my corner entry right. Currently running 275/305 RE11s on the sport wheels and the Z feels great.
