Reduce weight transfer?
Well how do you reduce the weight transfer when you brake while turning? I've noticed and done some experiments. While turning around 40+ mph I could feel the car about to oversteer and will result to an accident. It's inevitable on the streets if someone suddenly braked. Lowering my car will help? What good mods will help?

Re: Reduce weight transfer?

Re: Reduce weight transfer?
I think what he is getting at is that awd causes under steer? I've never had a problem with under steer or over steer myself. I want to get some suspension bushings to and that will help even more.

have you ever autocrossed? Our cars have terrible understeer. If you haven't had a problem with either I'm sure you're not pushing it hard enough

Re: Reduce weight transfer?
Almost every factory car is built with understeer on purpose, even something as raved about as the EVO. Keeps all the rambunctious yuppy fags and teenage kids alive. The understeer is easily dialed out with coilovers (appopriately sprung and damped of course, not off the shelf), sway bars, etc. My 2g was very nuetral after the coilover/shock install, but I chose my parts to do that specifically. There are some autocross and roadrace 2Gs that would absolutely blow your mind.
