Understeering

[Shady]

@JClark

Cars setup properly to drift practically drift themselves, but there’s more to it than just “stiffen the rear”. That may help substantially but address balance of the car in terms of the whole car, not just one end of it. Also, just running a crazy stiff rear sway bar may help get the rear to come around easier, but it’ll be harder to control once grip is lost. So while it works in getting the car to go sideways, it isnt ideal. You paid for all the fancy susp equipment, might as well use it for all it can do.

Also, if you have an understeer problem, the ideal way to fix it is to GIVE grip to the front, not take it away from the rear. Think about how easy that would make the car to slide at 100mph instead of 40.

Your car could be doing any number of things. Aside from having someone who knows setup drive it, you’ll have to play around with your settings yourself. Read up on suspension. Look at my suspension flow chart thread for the basics.

Just my $.02.

I was wondering when youd be in here :tongue
