Hey Guys, For those people who lowered there car with the neuspeed sport springs, did you notice if it changed the steering? Like did it produce more understeer? I'm curoius if the spring height difference changes anything...
Thanks!

Rep Power: 0 Changing the ride height and/or spring rates could have the effect of changing the balance of the car, thus affecting understeer/oversteer conditions. Along with tires, alignment/camber/toe-in, weight, stabilizer bars, strut bars, etc.
In general, lowering the car will give the car greater stability in cornering and increase the car's limit. Naturally because our cars front-engine/front-wheel drive configuration, there is a near 60/40 split of weight front to rear that will typically cause our front tires to reach limit faster than the rear.

Rep Power: 0 the steering is more responsive because of the stiffer springs, and the car handles way better, shocks would be nice though. Its a little bouncey at times.
