Reducing Understeer, Parts/tuning that can help Options

[snagmor]

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?

Just to be clear, do we know what understeer really is? Understeer is sliding by the front wheels. If the wheels aren't sliding you're not understeering, you're just not turning the wheel hard and fast enough.


In your case in what you described, it seems unlikely to me that you're actually understeering since you're not really pushing the car near its limits. If you actually are understeering in those conditions, your tires probably really really suck for the given conditions. No other mod you can do is going to help you more than a good set of tires for the conditions. In the wet with garbage tires, real understeer you should be nearly wrecking, because once ****ty tires break lose it would be hard for them to find grip to recover, especially going speeds into corners that would induce understeer.
