It was a weak field a few Jettas, and a Intera, and some other Hondas, but I was in the top 8 and won STS by a full two seconds. But my new set of S-02's took a real killing. Anyone haveing great sucsess with reducing the understeer? I know that we run 3k lbs cars but I was trying to rotate the tail as much as I could but I was still having trouble holding the front end down. Hope to tell you more good things in the future.

Hmmmm...well I'm no autox expert but I believe the 22mm sway bar from www.scracing.net will help get the tail out a bit easier from what I understand. Might as well go for the urethane sway bar bushings while ur at it. I'd also consider some subframe connectors from SHO Shop and front and rear shock tower bars if you don't already have them, to help tighten up the vehicle during hard cornering maneuvers. Just my .02!

You want to get rid of the understeer. get a 22mm bar from Spmotorsports. I installed that and damn my tail likes to kick out. I have oversteer now.

Kick ass now hopefully I can wip'em by 3 seconds instead of 2, I think once I start going down to Milwaukee I'll need all the help that I can get. Thanks for the input, I knd of figured that a sway bar was the way to go but I just wanted to be sure.
