Mine used to be lowered about 60mm, had 16's with toyo t1r's and the front wheels were negative camber about 2 degree's (sounds loads and it is!) i've gotta say it used to go round corners like nothing i had ever driven but the tyres lasted about 500 miles, if that. Not i've got it back to normal height on 13's and there goodyears its bloody aweful at corners, i can feelit twitching all the time ut i've gone for comfort at the moment as im doin a lot of driving. If you want handling, lower it with decent suspension and decent tyres. Thats pretty much my opinion. :D

absolutely serious,

everyone here talking about how you might be able to reduce understeer but there is no severe issue with these cars understeering dangerously as made out in the first post, in actual fact its not half bad.

so either you got a bit of a problem with the car or you drive like a tit every where you go, pushing the front tyres beyond their limits

not criticising you or say your a bad driver so dont have a go at me, just pointing out the obvious really

Mine understeers badly and is really bad in the wet, but its down to the Wheel/suspension geometry. I will be having it setup propperly soon.
