Mid and higher speed cornering is pretty well balanced, but it understeers like a pig on low speed switchbacks.Would going to 245/45 all round decrease the push from the rear when I apply throttlle in low speed corners? I remember it used to power oversteer fairly easy with 235/45 all round in mid speed sweepers - I can live with that.suggestions?oh and it rains constantly up here so nt01 all round isn't an option . . . yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still understeers but at higher speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your rear sway bar is adjustable, then firm it up (make heavier)- More negative front camber and front toe out. I recommend a camber kit or just get a bolt hole drilled into the upper arm frame/brackets.- The main problem is your mismatch between front and rear tyres. You are aware of this. However, there are tyres out there that are better than Invo's. For a street tyre that you want decent wet performance too, look at Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric 2's. To reduce the dry understeer you are talking about, it might make sense to try something like a NT05, Hankook RS3, etc up front and take it easier in the wet. It is also possible to get the best of both worlds. Get an R888 and put extra grooves in for wet performance which may solve your problems too.

Might try 245/45 all round and see how that goes, sway bar isn't adjustable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice a massive improvement going from a 31mm front bar to stock with 11kg front Springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
