Does anyone know how to reduce the understeer in the 6gc? I've lowered it with shocks, thicker front and rear sway bars and I have 2 strut bars but I am still getting a lot of understeer and I really hate it!.
I heard that getting a thicker rear sway bar might help. Does anyone know anything about this? |

yeah, a thicker sway bar in the rear will help. Try increasing the pressure in the rear tires as well. The stiffer rear sway bar will help load up the rear outside tire in a corner and the higher pressure will help it break loose a little sooner. (autocrosser freind recommended this). Do not upgrade the front sway or that will negate the effects of the rear stiffer one. You could try camber plates, but I would take it to a shop for tuning something of that caliber.
good luck
