[QUOTE="bimmerman, post: 51746, member: 126"] When I was driving a front wheel drive car it was nothing but understeer, understeer and terminal understeer. So to have some weekend fun I would pump my front tyres about 5 psi higher than my rear tyres and I was sideways! Instead of getting wayward oversteer it was more like a 4 wheel drift with slight oversteer on demand by lifting off the throttle mid corner and once the tail was out and about, I could immediately power on again to get a 4 wheel drift. Serious fun on a FWD!!! Front 34psi Rear 29psi But when it comes to suspension, the reverse is true. Stiffer springs or antiroll bar in front will induce understeer. Stiffer springs or antiroll bar at the rear will give you oversteer. You can also confirm this on your PS2 Gran Tourismo car settings :) [/QUOTE]
