Thanks for looking. I'm planning an engine swap to a 3s-gte but I came across an article about the new eclipse. In the article, they were talking about how it has too much horsepower and still being FWD making the car understeer alot. This made me wonder about my celi if I ended up doing this swap and end up with around 250hp, would she end up understeering? Should I be looking into camber kits or something to counter this if its too bad or something. As my car is at this point, all the suspension is still stock.

The only thing I have noticed since the swap (from 3S-GE to 3S-GTE of course) is that is has a little torque understeer when flooring it in corners. With the 3S-GE I never had that problem. Difference in weight (turbo+intercoolers = around 30 kgs more in total) dont really make that much of a difference. 100 lbft of torque and 80 HP more is.
