Reducing Understeer, Parts/tuning that can help Options

[snagmor]

Hey all. Looking to reduce the periods of understeer that my car goes through when taking turns tightly, and sometimes not even that tightly at all. Mosty in wet weather, but where I live thats most the time anyway. I have a farely stock 95 gt, only mods in question currently are Megan springs and stag struts on it.

I did a tad bit of searching the forums and found some info, and I was hoping to get some clarification and maybe some advice.
Will these modifications/addtions help me in this quest?

lower front end
Front strut tower bar
F&R sway bar

Is there anything else that can help? Will a strut tower bar/thicker sway bars really help?

I have a decent set of tires on mine, one of the ones out of the potenza series. TRD front coilovers, Hotbits rear coilovers, 3pt front strut bar, and a 2pt rear strut bar, and a harness bar inside too. Just on stock sway bars and upgraded rear end links. My car doesn't really under steer or over steer that much with this setup. If I'm hitting a corner hard and I cut it a little bit harder, the car will start to whip the back end out. You would think it would under steer instead of over because of it being fwd, but if you let off the gas as you cut it harder you'll gain more traction in the front. From my understanding it's because the car dips forward when you let off the gas and that causes the weight to shift forward and all this other stuff. You can look it up if you really want to understand cornering and all that stuff.

Really, it's about how you drive your car though. If you don't know how to take corners, then that's your first problem. You don't just cut the wheel really f*cking hard to one side or the other and you don't just floor it either. You need to learn where to brake, where to give it gas, when to not give it gas, but you also need to know how to carve a corner.

But like steve was saying, you need good tires to be able to corner well.
