Default understeer

i have a da and it tends to have a little understeer when i go into a turn a little faster than normal. i have some suspention work done on it right know(skunk2 coil overs-tokito blues) but i was just wondering what combination of struts and sways could help my prob. o ya i have some all weather tires, people have been telling me that that could also be a prob. i have been messing with the psi and stuff but it doesnt seem to help that much. i dont no i t just might be my driving but if u could give me some ideas to help thanks.

slow down on the street?

Its a front engine, front wheel drive car - its going to understeer if you go into a turn with too much speed.

You're going to have a tendancy to understeer if you come into a corner hot.

You can reduce this tendancy by doing a few things:

1) Get a bigger rear sway bar
2) Remove the front sway bar
3) Increase spring rate in the rear or soften in front

I'd try it in that order.

You forgot Slow Down. The least expensive of all the options.
