Default how to make care oversteer more?

first off, here what we are dealing with... 93 CX (stock d-series) with Tein HA, ITR control arms, ITR front and rear sway bars, GSR front upper strut bar, OBX rear upper strut bar, ITR 5 lug with ITR wheel wrapped in 195-55-15 Falken 502.

Heres my problem. i feel like my car could handel better. id drive my friends 02 celica gts which is slammed on skunk2's with stock shocks and that feels like it handels alot tighter.

when i take a turn, i feel like the front pushes a little bit, i think its because of my crappy tires.

what can i do to make my car more neutral or even over steer a little bit? what settings would u recomend for the Teins? thanks guys.

Tires play a big factor. Are you on 205/50/15? You might want to try bumping up the shock tension in the back too.

Things to make your car oversteer more:

Stiffer anti-sway bar in the back

Softer anti-waay bar in the front

Stiffer springs in the back

Softer springs in the front

Stiffer shock compression in the back (only effect the start of the turn when the springs are compresing)

Softer shock Compression in the front (only effect the start of the turn when the springs are compressing)

Stiffer shock rebound in the front (only effect corner exit)

Softer shock rebound in the back (only effect corner exit)

Lower tire pressure in the back (or way over inflate the back)

Up tire pressure in the front

im thinking of replacing my 195-55-15 Falken 502's with some 205/50-15 Yokohama AVS ES100. i hope these will make it handel better.

1. Sell hatchcrap
2. Buy 1st Gen RX7
3. Mount shitty all season tires
4. Use the loud pedal alot, 8000 rpm is your friend
