The real reason our cars understeer

[GTfour@alltrac.net]

ok i'm sure suspension gurus like racefiend will rip into me for posting without having a clue about what i'm saying but from what i gather (and i admit its not much) a harder rear anti-roll bar will not take away the understeer problem in the way we would like. it would simply cancel it with oversteer. so in a sense you get rid of the understeer but is this the ideal solution? this is what i wish i had answers to. concrete answers

softer front springs would also mean that you would need a larger diameter front antiroll bar which seems to contradict trend in higher performance race cars which seem to prefer more spring rate and less anti-roll bar.

as for changing the torque split ratio front to rear im not sure that its possible to change it. i always assumed it was fixed at 50/50 permanently. but if this is not so i would also expect less push under effect from a 60% rear torque split.
but then again i dunno what the hell i'm talking about right? lol

I think the biggest reason why the car understeers is the weight ratio.

Just out of interest, do those of you with an ST165 experience understeer issues?

[GTfour@alltrac.net]

any posts on these forums outlining the front/rear weight distribution of the alltracs? 165 185 and 205?

The most typical weight distribution is 60/40. Some have managed to adjust that some. I think mine had a little less weight bias to the front when I corner weighted it.

Good thread life breather.
