Classic, too much understeer! Please advise
Hello,
I'm a new Subaru owner, I've recently bought an absolutely standard 99 turbo impreza
I previously owned an RX8, which was amazing to drive, but just lacked power and was way too delicate to maintain and drive.
I love the subaru, but, what can I do to kill its understear?
I've put less tyre pressure on rears, but didn't seem to make much difference.
I'm keen to make some suspension mods, but keen to make the mods that promote oversteer.
Any help would be great

Antiroll bar (Whiteline)
Geometry, 4 wheel alignment, setting the wheels up correctly, leaning in/out angle also the tracking all around.
Sure someone can get you the figures you need to get it set up correctly, I`m in need of them as mine needs doing too lol.

Approximately 1.5 degrees negative camber will transform the handling of your car!
22mm rear whiteline adjustable arb and standard front arb will encourage more **** out oversteer
Neg camber is easily dialed in yourself if you know anything about the car but your better getting it done professionally to ensure both sides are exact

I was having the same problem with my classic and was getting quite annoyed tbh
I fitted a set of BC coilovers and had them set up to the settings prodrive suggest, the difference is night and day, I've not had any understeer atall so far !

As above, stiffer arb on the REAR, leave the front alone.
Uprated solid droplinks all round.
Then geometry setup.
Mine was done at Carnetix at Melton Mowbray. They talk you through what you want, what the changes mean to things like tyre wear etc and then set it up for you.
