Understeer

My 92Si understeered quite a bit. (I have neuspeed sport springs and Bilstien non adjustable struts and a neuspeed front tower brace) To try and remedey this problem I removed the front factory sway bar and I'm somewhat pleased with the results however the front rolls a little more than I like. Does anyone have a thicker aftermarket rear sway bar and stock front bar? If so how does it affect the stock understeer?

I got the tip to remove the front sway bar from the 13 second prelude page. It does improve the steering some on tight corners and it keeps the front wheels from wanting to slide forward.

Does anyone agree that the 4g's front wheels start to slide forward on tight turns long before they should? I just want to know what anyone has done to balance out the handling a little better.

Understeer as far as I know is when the front tires lose traction and begin to slide forward. Oversteer is like you said when the back loses traction. I'm trying to get a better balance between the two. May be I'm wussing out too soon but I can never get the back end of my Lude to even think about sliding because the front slides first and decreases the lateral force on the rear.

Ya, lower tire presure in the front, high tire pressure in rear (when autox'ing) and you will slide the rear easier... Also get some sway bars... car will be on rails =] i want some oneday..... hehe
