…this is good.

A) Remove the front sway bar, or at the very least adjust it to its softest setting. You left the rear bar stock i.e. OEM, so now the front to rear roll stiffness is unbalanced...

B) Decrease the cold start rear tire pressures considerably.

C) Decrease static rear camber (less negative).

D) Set front axle toe-in to zero or slight toe-in (i.e. about 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch total toe-in at the front axle).


E) Reduce the front axle spring rates.

F) Use wider front wheels.

G) Increase the front axle track width (perhaps with spacers).

H) Use less steer angle when at the limit of the front tires by adding some over steer balance by doing the things listed above.

I) Soften the front shocks in bump setting

J) Increase rebound damping, particularly in the rear.

K) Increase front camber if tire temperature varies from the inside to outside tread blocks and/or the outer tire is rolling onto the sidewall.

L) Increase caster to gain camber with increasing steering angle.

M) Increase forward rake angle by lowering front ride height or raising rear ride height.

N) Check or redo corner balance

O) Add a front splitter to increase downforce on the front axle

P) Vent the top of the front fenders to create low pressure and increase front down force

Q) Use a softer compound on the front axle tires (to decrease understeer) in combination with R) below

R) Use a harder compound on the rear axle tires to increase oversteer in combination with Q) above

S) Widen the front track width and/or reduce the rear track width

T) Decrease rear axle tire negative camber

U) Increase rear axle toe-OUT (by a 1/16th of an inch total)

V) Lower the front axle roll center

W) Read the book attached as a .pdf especially Chapter 11
