Being on 3 wheels is not bad either. It's a FWD car it will do that on hard cornering. That inside rear wheel will not do much for traction since their is not weight on it anyway.

Damn it everytime you are about to take a corner the camera guys pans out so you can't see squat.

Yeah, Next month I hope to have an in-car set up. If my buddy comes with me I'll have a tripod as well. And this is after I cut the really bad parts out.

So I have a 1"Suspension Techniques sway bar in the front right now. I think I could go to a 26-28mm sway bar. That might fix my cornering problems.

It would make the car understeer even more. Unless you like that?

That’s just it I don't get understeer unless I floor it leaving a corner. If I take it easy there is no understeer. I do get a little oversteer but that is from lifting the throttle interring the corner. I'd have to say I have the car balanced at half throttle. I did find out last night that the camber adjustable upper ball joints are hitting the top of the strut tower. There is a large nut on the top of them sucking up about a inch of travel. They only give 1.5 neg. camber anyway. I need a bit more. Now that I have found that problem I’ll work it before I start changing anything else.
