Default Understeer

While driving in the lakes, probly a little to fast, I noticed that the car seemed to understeer a little.

Will the “Prodrive” geometry settings dial out some of the understeer
On my 03MY WRX?

Probably. Very popular on earlier cars which have big issues with understeer. I think later cars suffer less, but don't take my word for it.

Jasoon, Prodrive geometry settings can be too harsh for some people as they can make the car twitchy. TSL's settings are less harsh and work very well.

My '03 has Prodrive springs with settings close to as recommended with the kit. I like it. Took care of most of the understeer to the point where I don't notice it anymore. Haven't done anything else to the suspension.
