[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 5279513, member: 6247"] You are correct in the theory that more toe-in in the rear will understeer more, but having said that I don't like what "toe out" does to the turn in with an IRS. Granted you and I are doing two different things with our cars. If you were at 1/16" in for rear toe and you went to "0" rear toe it should improve your understeer condition ever so slightly. Some other things you could try: The basics: A tick less pressure in the front tires a tick more pressure in the rear tires widen the front track (wheel spacers) soften front sway bar (if yours is adjustable?) more front toe out (just don't go overboard) softer compound front tire harder compound rear tire Wider front wheel Now for a little driver mod. I have no idea if this applies to you or not, but here is some food for thought for you and anyone else wanting to know: As you know, a Cobra is a front end heavy beast. I have seen guys (even driving instructors!) try to yank on the wheel at turn-in and an instant push is generated. Try turning in just a tick sooner being a little more gentle and gradual with the turn-in. Try to make it a more fluid motion. FWIW :thumbsup: :coolman: :beer: [/QUOTE]
