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? |

I'm not going to get technical like the rest of you, but the way I drive understeer is much safer than oversteer. I do a lot of fast hill driving, and I love the steering on our cars! I know exactly how far I can push before I lose it (and I have owned & driven RWD cars).
I will also say that I think your corner strategy is off. Try to take a 'racing line' as much as possible, and try coming into the corner a little slower in 3rd, change to 2nd a little bit before coming in through the apex of the turn pushing it hard. I truly believe that with good technique, if our cars were RWD they wouldn't be any faster than FWD (through corners). I am only 20 and by no means a driving master! But I do love pushing this car through bendy roads, its unreal! I'll try to get around to getting some divx footage soon, my favorite road is sweet at night! |
