Hey all. Looking to reduce the periods of understeer that my car goes through when taking turns tightly, and sometimes not even that tightly at all. Mosty in wet weather, but where I live thats most the time anyway. I have a farely stock 95 gt, only mods in question currently are Megan springs and stag struts on it.
I did a tad bit of searching the forums and found some info, and I was hoping to get some clarification and maybe some advice. Will these modifications/addtions help me in this quest? lower front end Front strut tower bar F&R sway bar Is there anything else that can help? Will a strut tower bar/thicker sway bars really help?

First of all... what tyres are you running? When I went from 15 to 16 inch rims I traded up from really cheap crud to UHP tyres (Michelin Pilot Sport 3) and they are AMAZING!!! XD (UHP = Ultra High Performance, but standard HP tyres are better value for money) --------------------  SOLD :( 1997 ST204 Celica ZR -----> See it here on 6GC! 2013 October Celica of the Month XD Now: '00 NB8B Mazda MX5 -----> See it here in off topic! |
