Alignment/Suspension tuning/Curing UNDERSTEER
My s13 has an understeer problem. i've tried several thing to cure this understeer but it wont go away
here are some of the things i tried 1-full negative camber in the front as much as camber plates allow. 2-raised rear end up to reduce rear negative camber 3-put stickier tires in the front 4-got stiffer springs in the rear 5-set adjustable sway bars full soft in the front and full stiff in the rear 6-lowered front end of car the problem i have is not understeer at steady state cornering, but at the turn-in. i've tried many different driving techniques like trail braking, off-throttle turn-in, abrupt turn in, smooth turn in, weight transfer out-in....i'm so pissed off at this that i'm buying an ae86 now...but i still dont want to give up on my s13. My real question has to do with front toe setting. I've read that toe-out is good for autocross and toe-in is good for high speed turning..well i dont care what's good for what. i just want to stop the turn-in understeer. how much toe can i run without absolutely shitting on my tires(es100's) i'd like to get 15,000 miles out of them. i got 10,000 miles out of my azenis. and which way should i toe in the front, out or in. thanks...Oh also is toe measured in degrees or inches? while i'm at it... i'm getting tein tension rods and i plan to run ~8.5 or 9 degrees of caster...i dont know if this help understeer..i doubt it.
