Question

I am stil runnung in my Sti8 and have noticed in the wet it understeers very easy and ALOT more than my old My99 + P1 ever did,its quite scary at times.

The car is running on p-zero rossi`s with Leda Suspension set at no 12 allround.

Anyone got any ideas please.

Cheers

what tyre pressures are u running?

I have a 8 on prodrive springs and now that the geo has been set up properly at Prodrive (thanks Mike) i run the car on 33f / 31 rear. I used to run higher than this but the difference is much better. (225/40x18 pzero neros). An other thought, is the leda wound up to much? I know people who run 6f/4r on the road.

hope above helps, let me know
cheers simon

Think the words "P-Zero" say it all ... IMHO.

Thumbs up

You need to keep the power applied, most people who aren't used to it lift as they feel the front go light. You need power applied for the diff to work and pull you round
