There is one thing about my scooby that is starting to get on my nerves and that is understeer.
Is there any way of stopping or reducing it?
I have read on this forum about the likes of anti lift kits, steering geometry changes and suspension upgrades.
Which one should i look at to give the best improvments? As far as suspension goes i have just got Eibach lowering springs on standard shocks, the rest of the set up is standard 'STI'.
Any help or experiences from you guys(and girls)would be much appretiated.
Cheers....JAMES.
PS. Great grand prix eh!

Get the geometry set up as the FAQ suggests and the car should be much better. It is the first thing you should do.

The "Training WRX" book suggests the following order

1. Geometry
2. Stiffer/adjustable rear anti roll bar
3. Anti Lift kit
4. Stiffer Front anti roll bar
5. Spring upgrade
6. Replacement dampers

This also happens to align with increasing costs!

PS Tyre pressures play a part as well (see seperate thread)

When I got my car about 6 weeks ago I realised that the suspension was its weak spot I have had the Leda B Pack fitted and is superb it has transformed the way in which the car feels/ drives.

Left-foot braking makes the front bite nicely.

PS Leda c makes a hell of a difference too!
