It's Understeer, the car doesn't turn as far as it should for where the
steering wheel is turned, hence, the car understeers! How much air pressure are
you running up front? You may need to go with lower pressure now that your
suspension is stiffer. Or you may just need to learn to brake more before
turning. Look up your local branch of the SCCA and take an autocross class when
offered. Even if you never run an AX again, you will learn the fastest way out
of the parking lot!

Subject: 'Pushing' the front end??
Hello All,
I have a handleing question for everybody. Sense I redid the rear end
and cut my rear bump stops to the 'improved street version' from Bob Sharpes
manual I have noticed a change in how the car goes around corners.
I have the comp springs and swaybar upfront with the stock bumpstops.
Now when I go around corners it feels like the rear end is 'pushing'?? the
front end of the car and causing the car to turn wider than before or in
extreme cases the front tires lose traction and slide where before pulling
the same stunt they would not??
Is there a name for this condition?/ Oversteer?/ Understeer??? I am
hoping that cutting down the front stops will fix this??
