So a little background my car has been oversteering bad .

So I invested in a racing beat swaybar.

This threw things into the other dimension .


I'm running 650/500 springs , On GAB super R shocks 8 way adjustables

I was running 7/8 front , 2/8 rear .

But I was plowing worse then FWD deisel .

so I adjusted gradually during the course of the weekend autoxing

I ended up with No rear swaybar , front shocks are at 5/8 , rear shocks are at 4/8

And I was getting some really good times . BUT the car still had a tendency to understeer , I want to shoot for a BIT more neutral . BUT i really dont wanna sacrifice the amazing traction I currently have now .

So I'm at a loss

should I soften the front shocks a click ,

Should I stiffen the rear shocks a click .

Ran out of Runs to adjust . so I'm curious as to what the general rule is . When is it TO soft ?

if I dont wanna sacrifice rear grip should I just soften both shocks ? rear and front ?

Is there a general rule people Follow when it comes to adjusting the shocks ?

Sometimes You get a long interval between runs but sometimes its back to back to back . and I ended up delaying the whole event because I was adjusting shocks after every run .

What size tires and wheel widths do you have? Same brands all around?

It sounds like you have a good approach. I too favor traction out of corners a bit over absolute neutral or oversteer, you just have to slow down a bit more on corner entry (that discipline thing!). More time and trials. FWIW: I have equal spring rates, the rear sway bar disconnected, and a large-ish front bar.

But, in the meantime before the next event, do you know what your alignment settings are?
You sound like you are at a level where alignments get important. (which is a good thing)

I am running 245/40/17 rivals all around ,

I have -2.4 front camber -2.0 rear

tiny minimalist toe in in the front , and a bit of toe in in the rear I dont remmeber the settings exactly for the toe .

removing the swaybar increased traction by alot so I kind of wanna leave it off haha . I should have the spring rates where I dont need it .

I want to reduce my under steer just a TINY bit . as its not TO bad now its manageable . but I can tell that its there .

I'm THINKING of softening my front shocks one more click I think that will give me what i need . and if traction suffers I think I will soften the back a click .

the Racing beat swaybar is 90% thicker then stock , Its the equivalent of the TRIPOINT in the stiffest setting . so its quite stiff in the front as it is .

What width are your front wheels. With that tire width I recommend running 9.5" wide wheels. It will reduce understeer.

9's I plan to upgrade to 9.5's soon .
