Maybe u meant to say over instead of under but what u did with ur seetings will lean ur car to the oversteer side

Well the handling of the car changed so much that the e-brake tap turned the car all the way to where I was perpendicular to the road I was on and with my front wheels burning out I came to an almost stop right next to a cone before the car started to gactually move in the new direction. The slide cost me over a second
