Sport Trac Tire Pressure ? Under-steer and Stability Control
So the factory speck for 17" is 36psi front and 32psi rear.
So If I was to increase the Rear tire pressure I would effectively reduce the ideal contact patch and reduce rear traction.
Has anyone played with rear tire pressure to try to dial out some of the under-steer and if so where did you end up?
I was just wondering if you took the rears up to 36 what happened and if the car became a little bit more neutral.
OR
Has anyone tried any aftermarket sway bar, adjustable or fixed and how far does that get you to a neutral balance where when the tires start to break it is all 4 wheels at the same time ?
Will stability control ever let you get there?

Isn't modding fun?
