Understeer is a term for a car handling condition in which during cornering the circular path of the vehicle's motion is of a greater radius than the circle indicated by the direction its wheels are pointed.

Oversteer is a phenomenon that can occur in an automobile which is attempting to turn. The car is said to oversteer when the rear wheels do not track behind the front wheels but instead slide out toward the outside of the turn. Oversteer can throw the car into a spin.

i went with stiffer rates in the rear for a more balanced feel. so far, i'm not disappointed.

the FN01R-C wheels didn't go anywhere, lol. i just need to replace the tires on them, and they'll be going back on. besides, i had a million people wanting to see what my stock wheels looked like on the car since i did the black and blue color scheme with them. so i figured this would give them the chance to see it :)

car handles absolutely amazing. even with the koni's on the softest setting, the body roll is very minimal. and it feels like it rides on rails. no under OR over-steer. very balanced feeling. i'm thinking i should have gone with something a little stiffer up front, but i'm not worried about it right now. the car feels absolutely amazing.

so understeer..is when the car (the whole car) is turning more than what the actual turn is?

and oversteer is when the car wont turn?

i know my maxima is bad off w/ whatever its doing..when i go into a corner, i feel the back of the car doing a 'rump shaker' lol..its just bouncing up and down...i think my struts are shot. cuz when i look from a distance, it looks like the rear is sagging and my tires bow in a lil bit..

Well if you feel that the car is performing at an optimum level, then I can't complain.

Oversteer is when the rear tires lose traction then you start to go sideways.

i'm a store manager for Hibbett Sports. we just opened up a store in front royal, and at this time i am the only person register trained, and i'm the only manager. FORTUNATELY, i am in the process of wrapping up the training of my two assistant managers and i will finally have a day off. i am essentially looking at 14 days straight, 11 hours a day. except sundays which are only 6 hour days.

troof. i wish i was paid hourly, cuz overtime would be my friend. but i'm salaried, so i get paid the same whether i work 48 hours or 480 hours.

i have to work a minimum of 48 hours, which i don't mind. but 70+ is kicking my ass. hell, the only reason i'm not at work right now is because my boss came from 2hrs away to give me a morning off. i don't go in until 2. which means i should be getting ready now :(

later guys, talk to you after work.
