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? |

when you have a higher than normal tire pressure, you loose some grip with the tire, the tradeoff is incresead body roll. Your rears should be maxed out to the recomendations for the tire. Play around with the fronts, but since you only have 40 series tires, it is not going to make a big difference.
with understeer, the front tires are breaking loose before the rear, the way to reduce this is to increase the traction in the front (or reduce it in the rear) with the goal being to balance the cars handling. If you take the car to an alignment shop that is familiar with racing and suspension they may be able to tune the suspension a little more towards a track setup, however the cruising handling may suffer. btw, K-mac does not show a sway bar for out car. Do they still make it or is it discontinued? |
