    Every single one of them. Lol the ass end just swings out like a mofo every chance it freaking gets.

    There is a VERY tight s curve I frequent.

    Most folks go about 10-15 through it, but ive done it in my car 45+. And it's SKETCHY.

    Strut tower bar, subframes, lowering springs, no front sway bar.

    The front tires grip great, but the back tires do not lol.

    Went through it yesterday and it oversteered so bad I was in a 4wheel skid, a little foot work and it came out clean.. Nosed into the bend going 50 and came out going 40. Lol

      You need to adjust the roll center in the rear. you are correct about the oversteer though. However.....it can be fixed. Good to see you did some chassis stiffening. The first step and MOST important step in achieving the most out of your car, for your goals.

        On the cheap, I'd do a set of Griggs Racing springs, 700# fronts and 300# rate rears. Tokico blue struts and shocks, and call it a day. Subframes will help as well if you want, and weld the torque boxes up at the same time.

          I put some subframes and rear uppers and lowers and it feels good. To tell you the truth, im not a dfw baller so i used the layaway plan provided by latemodel. People don't know they have one but they do. Pay half now and half later.......shit, i might pick up a sc this way.
