City sprint was a good little event. The entry into the carpark was very tight and had me pretty nervous each run. Apart from nearly hitting the wall on my 3rd run exiting riverside drive it was a pretty good day.

Here is my second run.

Hoping someone here with abit more experience can help me out. After getting a nice wheel alignment done the car is turning in and holding corners much better. However i still have an issue exiting corners. Basically the car will understeer as i get on the gas to exit the corner, i thought this was down to my shit technique giving it to many herbs while im exiting. I have adjusted the amount of throttle i have been giving it out of corners to limit the understeer however it just feels as if the car is being held back by it. At the end of the day i thought it was normal and if hust have to get used to it until i saw this picture.


To me it looks like too much weight is being transfered to the outside front wheel along with the front end lifting during accel, meaning im loosing all that grip from the inside wheel. Is this just a simple case of going up a spring rate to limit the weight transfer or do i need to look elsewhere?

Running 22mm front and rear sways with tein coilover (unkown spring rate for now, but known to be on the softer side)

I'm definitely no expert when it comes to the art of tuning suspension, and in the absence of being able to understand why the geometry would cause that type of behavior since it was set up that way (?), Have you perhaps considered chucking a locking 1.5way LSD in the rear?

Not sure whether this would solve your issue but I think 22mm is too small for the back on a GD for track/sprint stuff . I had Perrin 23mm Front and 25mm Rear on my JDM Newage with OEM struts and that stuck to the road like shit to a blanket.
