height adjustability
I have stock ITR with 16/14 spoon coilovers. The question is, in theory, if I rise rear a bit, will car become more oversteered or understeered? center of gravitiy will move up front a bit so in my book that should be more undesteered and vice versa - if I lower rear a little more, teg should become more "tail happy" and I should do 180 turn a little faster. And same question goes for the stiffnes - I have 5 settings from 1 to 5 and I didnt try anything else than 1, as it is stiff enought as it is :D. My question is how does rear/front height and stiffess affect car beeing undeersteered or oversteered
I hope you know what I mean. I know some of you guys use you`re tegs on AutoX so you should know these things.
PS: where could I get adjustable rear swaybar endlinks? And I dont want those blox ones, I want oem desing if possible (to hold sway from both sides)...

To the OP, stiffer springs in the rear especially will give you more oversteer. Also keep in mind that shifting the weight to the front means that you have less weight pushing down on the back tires, hence one would think would grant you more oversteer as well. I am not an expert though

I see where the OP is going with this I would suggest dialing in your oversteer by firming up the settings on your rear shocks and by playing with air pressures instead. Thats how I do it anyway.

I noticed with my car at Expo, with the rear end raised more than the front, that I had a little bit more oversteer. I also ended up stiffening my shocks to get a little bit more out of it.
I wouldn't worry about shifting weight by playing with the ride height, as you're better off playing with spring rates, sway bars, shocks, than with just raising and lowering the car.
