Default blew my car sideways



i was comin home from work today and traffic was nonexistant so i was runnin the on ramp pretty hard... accellerated hard out of the curve and holy oversteer, my rear end flew out to the left, probably about 100 degrees.... it was no big deal, i just steered out of it and kept goin on my way BUT i dont want it to happen again... maybe somebody can tell me what i can do to my car to avoid this kinda stuff...

today, my suspension is stock and i have an OEM front strut bar.

my springs are gonna be here tomorrow, (H&R sport) i already have struts to go with them (KYB AGX) and i also bought an Ingalls camber kit.

so... thats my current set up... any tips are welcome

sway bars are always a good thing to upgrade, what kind of tires you running (brand, model, and size?)

kumho ecsta supra 712's 205.50.15

ive been told that too big out back = too much over steer, too big up front = too much under steer... i was thinking 24mm up front, 22mm ITR bar out back

That sounds about right...I would say look into those, ask for other peoples opinions, and maybe look into some basic things too, like shocks and springs, they have a lot to do with how well the tire moves to contort to the road, also for the back check your trailing arm bushings, i need to replace mine, so thats why i say to check um...But look into shocks along with those springs...

look up in my first post, says i have KYB AGX's that are going in with my H&R sports... probably gonna have them installed on saturday

ive already looked into the sway bars, seems to be a popular set up around here.... just in case you dont know, 24mm front is gs-r/ITR spec.... 22mm rear is ITR spec...
