there are plenty of people on this forum that have noticed the understeer the car has. im no expert what so ever. i just took the car to a couple of scca events and when i turn into a sharp corner the car pushes in the front. you tell me what i should do.

good oint and very true.... see im very cheap and i dont want to get carried away with spending a lot of money right away. so i just thought adding a rear sway bar might help me for now. if it doesnt hert me in daily driving and may help the understeer a little. what do you think

Not everybody takes their 8 to the track, and their cars probably never get driven to their full potential... nothing wrong with that IMO.

^it depends on what sway-bar you go with. Too stiff and I would imagine it gets pretty tail happy... I don't know of anybody that has upgraded only the rear sway, so it's hard to say for certain. I wouldn't recommend it personally.

Alignment. Tire pressure. Steering:Pedal input.
Did I say alignment? Oh yes... alignment.

Sway bars
I've put in a set of Auto Exe Sway bars, I've done a few track days, and I'll say, I'm very fast around the track--in places, but in tight corners, I have a major unsteering problem, --I think ts give and take-- with the auto exe bars, its better in some corners, but worst in offers.
I agree with some of the posts earlyer, too, Coz, I do have a problem with coming into some corners----far to Hot (fast), eg back striaght, 120mph+ and braking at the 100 m (328ft) mark, Yip-- I'm out braking most of the cars I go out with, but totally stuff it up come out of the corner.
My 2c worth, spend your money on a good set of shocks --first.
