eliminating understeer

[kousoku]

Alright I need some help from a track/sussy fiend.

Okay as I understand it to eliminate understeer in a Honda the best thing to do is

Have less resistance from your shocks at the front compared to the rear

Have a stiff supported rear end as compared to the front

Have tire pressure higher at the front then the rear.


Alright after understanding this I wonder about a few things.

In all aftermarket suspension set up the spring rates at the front of the car are stiffer then at the rear, this seems to the contrary to what I have read about eliminating understeer and creating a more balanced drive. Would this stem from the heavy loads at the front of the car caused by the engines placement resulting in effecting spring rates being softer at the front then the back?


Secondly, what is the importance of dampening rates compared to spring rates? The way I see it is that spring rates are crucial for the initial set up of the car in its stationary stance, and once set up it has little impact to under/over steering tendencys. Where as, dampening rates come into greater importance once cornering? Would I be correct in thinking this? That once on the track the best way to control the amount of under/over steer would be to adjust the dampening settings?

To reduce understeer you can do the following

- Better tyres
- 1 degree negative camber on the front
- Get some adjustable caster bushes and wind on more caster
- Bigger swaybars all around, but have the fronts a bit softer then the rears
- Have the front tyre pressures a bit higher then the rear, 2psi is a good difference

Thicker rear sway, and once you are in the turn, just lift off the accelerator quickly for some accel-off oversteer. Haha. Serious...

to gain massive over steer u need the following

C pillar bar.
Rear strut bar
Rear sway bar and tie bar
Floor bar
stiff rear damper shocks and springs.
Federal tyres.
Carbing 3 point font strut.
Stock EK4 chasis brace.
36 psi on all tyres ( lol forgot to lower it hahaha)

[bennjamin]

how about just crappy rear tyres and "lift off"....oversteer in any car
