[QUOTE="fabianyee, post: 100738, member: 6"] FWD is better in snow and muddy condition. a RWD will not do well in the snow and mud. My personal opinion is leaning on an oversteering car. An understeering car is just not fun to drive. Even with my old Suzuki Swift GL(1.0), I have managed to oversteer the car even though it's a FWD.. That car have been lowered and equipped with front strut bar, that has done wonders by reducing a lot of understeer. Could do better though if the car comes with antiroll bars which is now absent from the chassis. A stock E30 still understeer when pushed. I have gone thru the stages from bone stock suspension to what it is now so I know the rewards from each stage. The things that I have loaded: (based on chronological order) 1. Lowered springs. 2. front strut bar 3. rear strut bar 4. rear antiroll bar 5. aftermarket front and rear anti-roll bars. 6. custom made front camber plates. 7. custom made front lower control arm bracket with PU insert. 8. custom made rear pillowball topmount u may not follow my route for suspension upgrades but do consider the first 4 items on the list. it was sufficient to put smile on me after every corner but then it got even better when I continue with 5 then 6 then 7 and 8..... for those of u wanting to acquire the reflexes needed to counter an oversteer, go for go-karting. i got my instinct from there.. although the steering feel is different but that's a start. the point is getting to know when ur tail is coming loose. Another way to train ur brain on minute change of direction is to take the Putra LRT. stand up right without holding onto anything and try to balance urself when it moves thru its underground route. I do this everytime I get on the LRT. hahahhaa.. it's a way to kill time and at the same time working out the brain... try doing that with ur eyes closed. even better. [/QUOTE]
