tanabe gf210 first autox with them

so just ran my first event with the gf210 with koni yellows even though the spring rate is kind of low i stayed pretty flat in the corners and the car responded pretty well. i did have some under-steer problems but i think thats cause i was running a street alignment that was almost zeroed out up front and about 1 in the rear. i am also using rpf1's with gforce sports but stock sway bars.

ill be running again next month and ill have a better alignment to see if the under-steer is still there.

i do have a couple pics from the event when i get them on my computer ill post them so you can all see the body roll.

also if anyone has any advice to get rid of the understeer other then more negative camber that would be great. ive been looking into sways but i dont want to lose traction in the rear to gain traction in the front.

thanks in advance.

here are some decent pics to see the body roll.

Alignment is a good place to start, however, what are your koni shock settings? If you turn the rebound up too high, it could adversely affect grip at one end (leading to understeer or oversteer).

Do you have any more action pics? None of those really shows how much lean the car has in corners.

i have my konis a 1/4 turn above the factory setting in the front and the factory setting in the rear. the rear held down very well when my tires warmed up. ill try lowering my rebound a little and see how that helps.

all of those pics were going through either a slalom or a hard right turn. my friend said i was one of the flattest cars in the corners. which really surprised me because of the soft spring rate.
