On the street, my car feels pretty damn neutral. On a very tight auto-x track a few weeks ago, my car started to push more than I would like. This is with completely stock 95 suspension (don't forget that 94s and 95s already understeer more than 93s due to the smaller rear bar) and stock size 225/50 tires all around.
I imagine that running 235/275 tires would understeer quite a bit unless the suspension was modified to adjust for this, such as larger rear bar, smaller ratio between front/rear spring rates, etc.
Also, I am going off of Manny and Max's experiences that such setups will tend to understeer.

Production cars come from the factory with understeer. The FD3S is mild in comparison to most others.
I agree that id does push a bit in slow corners, but that's too be expected with any slow corner, regardless of how car's setup.

Nice Toms, but you know they're still not Volks :P hahaha, j/k fd3sboost - they look like awesome wheels. I'd be happier to have a nice set of these Toms that are rare than a set of Volks that everyone has since these are equally as good. Get some pics of them on your car, they'll look great!
