I agree with you..as I have a similar setup it sounds, but a Stock A4 primarily understeers...

Default Nope haven't made it out with the A4.. I've been competing in the IMSTAR series

with my VR4, or at least trying..blew my tranny (1st gear at least) this past Sunday so i never got to qualify.

I've got a Green turbo (slightly bigger than a t3/t4), a Spearco 2-216 intercooler and alot of supporting mods to install before the next race...not to mention rebuilding the tranny!

If the guys decide to do another test -n- tune, I'll run the A4 as see what she's got.

How's the new car? Any faster Mike @ Curry's was asking about you...and your car.

Default I like David Hobb's description

You're driving into a corner that has a guard rail along the outside and the following happens:

- Understeer: you turn the wheel but the car keeps going straight into the guard rail!

- Oversteer: You turn the wheel, but you never see the car hit the (bloomin') guard rail!

Default Re: yeah I have the nuespeed bilstein shocks & hyperco linear 450/500

Springs so I think mine may be a little firmer.
Do your springs have progressive rates??v what seetign is your neuspped bar on? mines on race.

I can kick out my rear without even trying which can be a little scarry if your not expecting it (pasangers rarely do!)

But you're totally right. Our cars tend to push, especially in a stock or close to stock setup.
