There are so many factors to set up and making the car truly come to life....
Tires are great for overcoming issues...but they are truly a band aid. Front ride height is major league critical.....and yes there is a to low. Rear ride height can have a bigbeffect on apex out. Spring rates and bars...... and def differential settings are vital to a well balanced car.... Even brake pads can be a very frustrating evil that will cause a huuuge understeer. To truly understand understeer ....you need to know where the understeer starts in a corner and why. Sometimes.....it can be simply driver induced. |

Haha I had a combination of going with the Eibach Front Sway Bar along with getting my corner entry right. Currently running 275/305 RE11s on the sport wheels and the Z feels great. |

Would it be a good idea to add a larger power steering cooler when going to a 275 front tire? Summers in OK are in the high 90's to 100* and I am not sure of the stock cooler will be able to handle the added stress from the larger tire with the heat. Daily driving won''t be an issue I don't think but most of the track days and AutoX events are in the summer. I already have a 34 row oil cooler.

If you track then yes, an upgraded PS cooler would be a good idea (but certainly not mandatory). I changed mine to the Stillen since it was an easy swap, has about twice the cooling surface and a little more volume.
When refilling, fill the reservoir about 3/4 and have someone turn the wheel lock to lock a few times with the car running. Monitor the fluid level and top-off to about half-way full. The fluid expands a little with heat and sloshes around pretty good and since the cap doesn't seal that well you can get some overflow if it is too full.
