please email me advice on the following subject people as i have lmited access to the net righ now
have a v5 type r and want to reduce understeer as it spoils m fun oh so much.
was thinking of changing the front and rear sway bars to larger items and resetting geometry along with anti lift kit.fiting strut braces lower rear, chassis and front as well as top front an rear.
what have you lot done to your cars to reduce understeer?
read the mrt impreza tuning book but would like to hear from people who have experienced this first hand please.

S25. I have an sti V3 which i hillclimb and drive on the road, so it gets driven in all conditions. I used to go round corners on full lock with understeer.(racing!)
To fix this:
1 Do all the roll bars etc as detailed on the www.whiteline.com.au site. Get some real tyres fitted, ie Toyo/Goodyear, and if your car has the original Jap tyres bin them ASAP!
2 Do not fit the ALK that is common IF you then go further with the front end.....
3 Go to the MRT rally web site, and order thier adjustable top mounts.
4 Fit it all, and get a good alignment shop to set it up to the Whiteline 'extrem' data.
6 Take some time getting used to a very different Impreza! (I'm serious, do not rush at the car)
7 Enjoy.

It has realy worked for me. Also, if you want a mild approach see this month's Japanese Car mag! Their project car is spot on.

Good luck, Graham.

 

... or just run narrower tyres on the back than the front!
