so today i ran with two of my friends (both with audi 90 CS) around some twisties. good corners, good speed. However, i noticed that my tires protested quite a bit, but that is to be expected with a heavy a4. more importantly, what i also noticed is that i have really bad understeer. what can i do to reduce that, maybe even promote oversteer? i was thinkin some anti-sway bars, but is there anything else? thanks!

 

Rear sway bar will help. Front sway bar will promote understeer. Also make sure your tires are properly inflated.

 

sway bars help alot in understeer
i have the same car as u and the sway bars do help alot on understeer
i have Hsport sways front and rear
some people say just upgrade the rear not hte rear but hell i did both


edit...

 

When you add a swaybar you reduce grip on that end of the car. So add a large one in the rear and that will increase understeer and promote over. Add a front and it will increase understeer and decrease oversteer.

 

ya ur rite i had it the other way around ealrier

 

let me make it somple rear= a little oversteer and both equals same understeer just u can caryy more speed until u see it.

 

did you have sport suspension to begin with? If not, I'd go for a huge 21mm rear swaybar (stock sport is 15mm) and upgrade to maybe an OEM sport front swaybar... you'd still see oversteer, but it'd handle like it was on rails. I have stock sport, and will only do my rear swaybar -- i'm much more comfortable with oversteer, than understeer... due to my several previous RWD cars.

 

sry forgot to mention the sport front sway bar. I just assume everyone has it cause i do. sry bout that.
