Understeer... it sucks!, bad point about the 6gc Options

[SiKBOY]

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

My wheel pressure is set at 40PSI on both front and back. I have 17X7's with 215/40 tires. Do you suggest that I raise the rear tires even more? On the track I put the front tires up higher than the rears.

Kuya, I get understeer comming out of roundabouts (I dont know if you have them in the states) and sharp turns. I think I might be going into the corner too hot or powering too early. I thought that all Celica's have an understeer problem. Even in my old 5th Gen I had major understeer. Maybe its my driving style.

Also I am running Falken Ziex 326's. They are a pretty cheap tire so it probably has some kind of affect on road grip.
