Yes, the angle stays the same but it changes the geometry and slightly lowers the roll center. The net effect is more grip on all four wheels. One thing to consider for the rear would also be to run the rear arms in the low roll center position (-0.75 pivot holders). Also make sure your rear diff is not set too loose. |

Hi guys, mine own experience with oversteer: Firstly I increase front camber to 2 degree. THis change will remove steering into the corner and also decrease traction on the front suspension that means that the car will not stop in the corner Harder bars are the right decision. If I need to decrease steering, I use harder bars (1.6 in the front, 1.4 in the rear). It also makes the car more smooth and easier to drive I also recommend to change the downstop mainly in the front. I usually use 6.4 which also decrease steering and makes the car easier to drive Hardes springs will help as well. Very good help in this case is high arm roll center in the front I hope this will help |

I ran my 008 EU 6 cell last night with the following changes. Front camber links raised 1mm on outside and raised on the inside. Front Kit roll bar only (no rear) Everything else as standard rubber carpet setup The car was much more stable and so fast out of corners. The only problem now is oversteer when going into and hairpin from full speed. |

What downstop/droop settings are you running? You could try running less rear droop to decrese the weight transfer to the front under braking. I find 6.5 front 4 rear gives a nice balance for my driving style. |
