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?

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I dont think i have LSD. How can you tell if you do?.

The torque in my car has been increased from the SAFC tune and when my girlfriend drove it, she said that it felt like she was driving in the rain and it felt like something was wrong with the car. I do get a bit of that automatic lane changing thing going when changing gears but not as much as some of my mates turbo cars.

I got my wheel alignment done but havent driven the car hard yet so I cant report on if it has helped with the understeer problem. I asked the guy to change the camber but he couldnt find the bolts to adjust the camber settings. Can anyone point me in the right direction? He also said that 2 degrees is quite a lot of camber and the insides of the tires would wear quite quickly. I dont know if I can trust him especially since he cant find the camber adjustment bolts

I doubt you do... but here's how you can check:

Jack up the car... spin one of the wheels... if they both spin together... then you have LSD... if they don't... then you don't have LSD...


I'm pretty sure this is one way to check...
