I have a set of Tein HAs with 10k front and 8k rear spring rates. I am having a lot of oversteer right now especialy as a daily driver it can be dangerous on wet surfaces! Anyway, I'm trying to get the rear to hold the best it can (for daily only ofcourse). What's better softer in front or softer on the rear. Thanks!

 

Softer in the rear. You can also decrease your lower tire pressure a few psi.

The rest is up to you, I suggest you attend a driving school if you can.

 

Thanks for your reply. Driving school is underway, it would really help for these bad conditions on the road.

 

When does the oversteer occur? Corner entry, corner exit?

Your rear rates are too high and will always cause oversteer. I suggest putting a lot of weight in the back. Your overall rates are probably too high for rain. Do you only have one set of springs?

What about your swaybars?

8k = 448 lbs

Compared to the front rates, no that is not too high and will still understeer in the dry.

Do not put weight in the back........ that will likely make the problem worse. Those rates arent too high for the rain.

 

it could be something else back there that is causeing youre car to do this.


Check you RTA bushing, are they stock?
also maybe its somthing your doing, drop throttle braking mid corner, anything to up set the cars balance

 

Based on the equipment you have listed, I do not think the suspension is the reason for the oversteer and I would hesitate to make any major changes to the damper settings.
