ra23celica Forums Junkie Registered: November 2002	Re: Savage Understeer Fri, 12 November 2004 02:48 Just liked chopped springs are considered a modification travesty I don't consider fitting a 'cage and front strut brace' as a cure for an understeering car. Maybe a positive by-product, but not a fix. Look at it from a more technical view point. Springs carry the weight of a car, the shocks control the movement of the springs. Cutting down coils reduces the weight carrying capacity of the springs. The original shocks are made to suit the original springs, which are now altered. The moment you change the relationship between the shocks and the springs the first thing that will suffer is the handling. The AE86, like almost every Toyota (the MR2 is an exception) is an inherrent understeerer, and cutting down the springs has increased that handling trait / problem. Next to suffer will be the steering, which will transmit more road vibrations through. Save up and buy proper lowering springs and shock absorbers to match, for your AE86. Before that you can try a larger front sway bar which will help, but you can still expect big doses of understeer until you do the suspension properly. End sermon.
