So my setup currently is:

Tein HA's
Stock Swaybars
Brand new Kuhmo tires on stock rims

My problem is this; at very high speeds the back end feels very light and unstable. Under very hard braking it sometimes feels like it is going to whip around. And if I were going at a fast rate of speed and there is even a slight curve, the back feels like it is going to whip around.

This was also a problem with my old LS integra, not just my Type R.

How can I combat the oversteer at high speeds?

Thanks for your help, because I know very little about suspension setups.

 

Whats the settings on your Teins?

 

Mugen rear wing set to maximum downforce

 

Stiffen your front shock settings and soften the rear settings -- if you can, I don't know much about Tein.

 

Once last thing...

I don't mean to sound condescending, but I would NOT listen to that Stu guy in the Integra forum. The BS seems to be getting a little deep in there.

I remember asking the same question and someone said if your backend is flipping around at high speeds and you need more downforce in the back the answer is simple: You are going too fast.

 

I have my N-1's set at 7 in the front and 5 in the back and I don't have a problem with oversteer. BTW, what is the highest settings on the Teins?

 

First of all, heavy breaking usually shouldn't be done in the middle of a corner anyway, so that might help you out a little. If the back end feels like it's going to whip around while breaking, you need to straighten the wheel. Also, if you could describe your breaking/turning technique, we might find the problem there and not in your setup. Finally, which Kumhos?

High-speed twitchiness can be caused by bad alignment with too much toe-out in either front or back. Heavy braking with excessive toe-out will result in the car darting left to right, if that's what you're experiencing.

Other than that, I've driven the type r on both kumho v700s and the kumho street tires around a couple of tracks and to a certain degree the back does like to hang out in faster turns. As long you keep it in check, it shouldn't whip around. The type r is the most neutral and prone to rotation out of all the (few) near stock or stock cars I drove around a track.

Make sure you have your alignment checked - the problem you describe happens quite often to our IT racecars and it's usually due to bad alignment. Good luck!
