Understeer

Dda87 · 03-01-2010, 11:37 PM

As everyone has already noticed with the steering of the civic you can really feel the understeer. I was just wondering what the best mod would be to make handling feel better. I have heard a sway bar but I want opinions first please let me know. Also name brands would help out too

Alignment.

More camber in the front than the back = more oversteer.

Also rear sway bar.

Buy a second spare tire and run them both in the back.

RSB - 150$. ( progress eibach comptech w/e )
Front camber bolts x2 - 70$
TIRES - 400-600$

understeer slightly negated! If you really want to get rid of it it gets more complicated, but cheap and easy = camber bolts ( a pair for each side ) and a larger rsb. Oh and tires.

maybe should put "autox x 5 - 300$ but i kind of doubt thats what you're thinking about.

Less wider tires in the rear would help aka reverse staggered...

If this is a street car, I wouldn't really recommend anything more than camber bolts up front or a rear sway bar.

I'd really hate to see someone on here one day posting about how they spun into a pole or a mother and her baby carriage.
