I just had anti-lift kit put in and sway bars.. yada yada...

... all i can say is that you shouldnt pass it up-suspension/braking mods are definatly the way to go-more control, less wheel spin but i like the fact that you get better "turn-in" and the steering feels slighty quicker/more usable

and stay off the "e-brake" unless on the track

Yeah I agree, it feels cool when you yank the HAND brake and you lose control and slap a kerb or a pole..

yeah, your only suppost to pull the handbrake when its wet and when theres lots off traffic alongside.

any other time and your just chicken.

seriously, dccd, swaybars, tires and suspension tuning make all the difference to understeer, some people like it (for letting them know they are newb), others hate it (cause they cant swing the tail out), driver training will really tell you what is best for your driving style, as perhaps driving a car that is -really- rear happy might not be what your preference is.

I always thought you shouldnt pull the handbrake in a wrx at anytime because it suffs up your centre diff? because it doesnt have the sensor that disengages the centre diff like sti's????
