When I take spirited drives on backroads, I experience the inherent understeer that comes with the staggered wheels. I had read that going with a square wheel set-up could help alleviate that a bit, or that a square tire set-up can also offer some of the same benefits. Am I off-base? I suppose another option could be a larger front sway bar, but tires will be the next upgrade, so I thought it might be able to make a difference there.

I thought so as well. I recall reading somewhere on this forum that zero toe up front and 1/16 inch toe-in in the rear might be an option, but that could be more geared for a track car.

Indeed! I expect increased inner wear on the fronts, but I'm hoping that the positives outweigh the negatives. It's the nature of the beast when you start making these kind of changes.

Thanks for you input, OptionZero!
