Re: Suspension
One of the best remedies for understeer is to
modify your driving technique (worked for me). Slow in, fast out, smooth
steering inputs, etc. You can unload your life savings in suspension
upgrades, but the car will still understeer severely if you do not work on
driving skill.
Assuming you have the driving skill part worked out, the
quickest way to dial out understeer is with a rear sway bar. As always,
consult with someone who is familiar with all of your car's present
modifications before making any purchases. In general, however, anything
that will stiffen the rear of the car will help combat understeer.

Anyone willing to tell me what the best way
to get rid of the chronic understeer might be? I keep plowing the Weapon
around the curves. It's fun and all, but I want better
tracking.
