find a fix so i can do it to mine too

Yeah there are TONS of things that can contribute to understeer, caster, camber, toe, tire pressure, dampening, sway bars, cross weight, tire compound, tire width, your driving, etc. I do think that for street tires the front Hotchkis sway bar is a bit on the stiff side but nothing that messing with other settings can't fix. Eventually, once we improve upon the handling further the sway bar will be a better fit. I am annoyed though that nobody makes an adjustable front sway bar for this car. That would be the ideal situation.
