^You really need to expand upon that question...when are you experiencing understeer? Everyones setup and driving style is different so to say yeah slap a larger bar on there do this do that is silly IMO.

Slapping on more parts is not the answer, just yet.

As to cheap ways to help alleviate understeer hmmm tire pressures, alignment, driving style.

And on tarmac, the benefits or left foot braking are marginal at best.
GSRs, too? I thought the problems with extended LFBing was only for MRs. I've never had a throttle-cut issue (with the ASC fully off) in my 08 GSR.

As to the benefits of LFBing when autocrossing, I guess we'll just have to disagree.

Left foot braking is quite helpful I use it quite often as I'm trying to get used to the pressure that need to be applied by me LF, just use it on the highway going straight , little by little I should be able to master this.
Now heel toe is a total different issue , I just can't find a proper position , I'm 6'1 and my shoe size is 11 I just can't fit there

Autox is a false waste of time and money. You should skip it. I ran a 52.86 clean at an autox in Bremerton. It was clearly on the timing equipment. I would have taken 1st in class with my old VIII. They hung a 53.55 on me. I don't know what their prob is but they only penalize for cones and gates in 1 or 2 second incriments, and I didn't hit any cones or miss any gates.

So any activity that might lead to a false outcome is a waste of time and money, eh? Must be nice having an excuse to never leave your house.

As to the awkward pedal placement in an X making heel-and-toe or side-of-foot/side-of-foot difficult, I complete agree and have given up it until I can make changes to the pedals. Note that I'm not giving up on it in all cars and all situations just because this one car makes it difficult (see first paragraph); I'm just not trying to do it in my near-stock X any more.

Say what...nothing which you just said has any relevance or makes any sense; I hope that was a joke.
