a 2.0L 6262 for road racing? Wouldn't you rather want to run a 5857 or something?

When I changed from the 255/40/17 Z1s to the 275/35/18 NT01s it went to slightly understeering.

I thought perhaps the car was rolling over too much for the extra grip (550f/650r springs), so I added a whiteline 26mm front sway bar for the January event. Still understeering but not too bad.

For the February event I added a Whiteline front control arm bushing, Perrin PSRS, and dialed the camber back to 2.5, was 3.5. Understeering pretty bad now.

For the next event I'll be putting the rear sway bar on the hard setting to see if that will fix it without being too twitchy. It has been on medium for a long time.

My Gf tracks her evo x for the first time last year. She only had sways on her car when she started and loved it. The car it self handles pretty good, no major mods needed. You'll have a blast!

This is what I'm running and it made a big difference on a stock block and head, from the 62mm turbo I had before. You can actually control throttle response with the 5857 durring turn in or coming out of turns.
