Just read OP again, what are you spring rates?

You have enough adjustability in your setup to make the car do anything you want. Aftermarket adjustable sway bars are the last piece you could use, but you can set it up to do whatever you want with the stuff you’ve got.

There are plenty of industrial parks around where you can do that late at night. Don’t linger around for hours and dont make a scene, but you can quickly figure out where your car understeers (corner entry/initiation in your case) and how (flat or roll). That will get you 75% of the way to a fix.

That seems pretty soft for rates, but I’m not sure what rates you guys run regularly.

I think I’m going to hold off on the sway bars because I don’t want to stiffen the front anymore and for normal street driving I don’t want to have the rear too stiff.

Yeah let me no when yo want to swing through the shop to check it out

i have some e-bay styled D2 coilovers that i got from ramrod. i don’t have any fancy shit on my car just those coilovers and that’s it. the rest is all factory and rusty. just play with what you got and get more right foot and whip the wheel. i’ll go for a ride next time and maybe i’ll take it for a drive. you can also ride with me to see what i do if you’d like.

side note- i use my e-brake if i start to push which isn’t much and i just flick the wheel and mash the gas to start a drift. e-braking is alot of fun on smaller tighter turns.
