Right, after owning the classic jdm sti for a few weeks i can see what people mean as to how they understeer but what is the best way to combat this?

I do have tein coilovers with pillowball mounts so a bit of exxta camber will help but what about the whiteline front and rear arb's or the droplinks and the anti lift kit

Any advice is appreciated

Whiteline 22mm rear ARB, I used middle hole setting (medium).

I had one fitted a short time ago and tested car on the same large motorway exit roundabout before and after and can definately say the car was much more neutral when pushed into roundabout after fitting. I also changed wheels/tyres which obviously has a bearing on handling, but understeer was definately reduced. Car more inclined towards full 4 wheel drift moving towards oversteer after fitting. I think hard setting would go even further towards oversteer from what other ppl say. Didn't feel like it was going to snap out of control. Front ARB/droplinks still standard on MY01 wrx.

You need a lot more caster to kill it off.
Has worked for me on my hillclimb road/racer.

i prefer the neutral settings, i have mine setup (97 jdm)so it can do both under and over, when provoked.

from memory, what i did with mine was as follows

parada spec 2 tyres
34psi fronts, 32 psi rears

powerflex front anti roll bar bushes
rear drop links
anti lift kit
rear camber bolts (cant remember what i set my rear camber to sorry)
max negative camber on the front
35mm lowering springs and brand new kyb shocks
home made bumpsteer mod
0.5 toe in per side tracking

i did not add the rear anti roll bar in the end as i prefered the 50/50 setup rather then end up with something that oversteers more, everybody seams to crave this, but in reality, its **** and you end up crashing into some armco at speed like i did when "drifting" LOL

a lot of the standard understeer comes from driving techniques IMHO, although the uk cars do tend to be much more easy to push the front end out.
