Default Apparently I used to be smarter.
found this old post from Chris and several of our replies re: understeer - oversteer.

21mm rear bar comes off this weekend. Might get Springs someday then try it again, but for now, putting it back to Stock Springs,Stock Rear Bar, Koni Sports, Defcons. It may corner on the door handles, but it is faster and SAFER that way.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1492202.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1492202.phtml</a</li></ul>

Try going to a mid range setting on those rear shocks. I think you'll like it on the track..

Default Thanks, I had them mid before the 21mm bar. May go all way to firm--->
Then I can adjust the fronts softer to reduce understeer at a more controllable rate by just turning the ****.

You may loose front end stability. The defcons apparently make a big difference. Keep em stiff.
