So I got added power and good brakes, but here's the issue:
My suspesnion consists of the following:
1.) neuspeed springs
2.) OEM shocks (last minute resort when Koni Yellows leaked after installation)
3.) No alignment yet.

Now I have the Supercharger in the front with the smaller battery up front too, and I really feel the car oversteering, like if I go around a turn too fast, the rear wants to slide out, i have to be very carefull. I almost spun out once, corrected it last minute.
I like the ride nice and soft as it is now, but what can i do to offset the Oversteer? It can get scary at times. Shoudl i get sways? If so, with the front sways or rear sways correct the oversteer. Would an alignment have that much impact on the handling besides the tire wear? the tires are fairly new too, so those aren;'t the issue as far as I know.

any experiences or help?

Stiffen the front, in this case (since you don't have coilovers), go with a thicker front sway bar.

Right, so Leave the rear one alone? thanks.

I'd suggest checking your alignment first. The rear slid out on my car once on a turn I always take and when I took it in for alignment it was WAAAAY off. After that, car was handing like normal.

Also, if you haven't had an alignment yet this could also be affecting your handling tremendously. While a little bit of negative camber (which is what you prolly have if you're dropped) can be favorable, too much means less tire is in contact with the road and of course less contact = less traction.

Plus with the added power, you're prolly pushing it well past the capabilites of our boats, which is understandable...Fun = scary as shit sometimes!! You're gonna end up jizzing and crapping your pants at the same time, I know I've done that before

Oh yeah, performance struts are your friend. They're prolly more important than the springs and sway's combined. Bilstein or Koni's FTW.

think i'll try that first, you maybe right.

yeah i would try an alignment. btw what tires do you have? with just neuspeed springs, i think you def should not be oversteering. stiffening the front only will give more understeer, and stiffening the back only will give more oversteer. but i would not tweak with your suspension balance before you check your alignment/tires.

tires are fine, they are Toyo proxes 4, thing is, they had awesome grip when i fiurst got them on, but maybe the lack of having an alignment may have mad they wear oddly or something. Either way, tomorrow I'm getting an alignment and soon I'm swapping the tires and wheel for some Legend GT's and brand new Toyo T1R 235/40/18 tires, so that should help alot, aybe just a front sway or something after that.

post after the align and tire change and let us know how it works out.
