Reducing Understeer Options

[KAOS]

I'm looking for some advice. The engine is almost back in the car, and I then need to finish the chassis upgrades.

I have a ST front sway bar to install and my friend seems to think that if I remove the sway bar altogether and NOT install the ST bar, that will significantly remove any understeer.

<- I gave him one of these.

Doesn't make much sense to me to completely remove it; the new REAR sway bar is installed and set to stiff. But I can't see this car having so much HP that understeer would be affected at all...

Squash this inner turmoil for me.

... and GO!

If your front tires arent sliding you arent understeering. If your rear tires aren't sliding you arent oversteering. You just need to turn the wheel and take better lines.

Hitting the wall at speed head on = understeer
Hitting the wall at speed ass end first = oversteer

Haha yeah. The thing is most people think that their street car is understeering just because it wants to push through the turn. Oh yeah i'm understeering.... really your body just isnt comfortable with the level of speed and sideways G-force.

If you are understeering the absolute best thing you can do is probably a good set of tires. RallyWV i oversteered into the turn anticipating lack of grip. Was correct then proceeded to understeer through the road down over the hillside into the trees.
