FWD 6GC Oversteer?, Why am I experiencing oversteer? Options

[Special_Edy]

So if any of you read my post in the "Today I..." topic you know that I had a mishap on the highway the other day. Well I drove past the skid marks and its quite clear I locked up the back wheels for about 10 feet and then the car went into a spin. Then, yesterday, I took the car along some super twisty country roads and was experiencing oversteer. When I went around a corner at a fair speed, the rear end was swinging out slightly, even with me gassing it out of the turns. Its actually very pleasant getting the rearend out maybe 5°-10°, as our cars are extremely stable and oversteer is WAY better than understeer. It just comes as a suprise to me. Im used to this car understeering as any FWD car is prone to do. My tires are crap but they all have decent tread on them and are properly inflated, and my alignment is slightly off but Ive gotten cars back from the alignment shop worse than it.

So any ideas? Do yall experience oversteer or understeer? I guess I need to start doing some autocross and really get the feel for this vehicle.

its the other way around.

prevent oversteer you must get thicker front sway bar

prevent understeer you must get thicker rear sway bar

you got it right and so did I, I meant, his car maybe doing that because it has a thicker rear sway bar. sorry if that didn't come across clearly.

EDIT, now that I think about it, either a Thicker rear sway bar or removing your front sway bar ( Very dangerous ) so check your front sway bar, make sure is secure in place etc.

Makes sense that whichever corner rolls less is going to loose traction quicker. The looser end is going to keep contact better
