Question Need help with suspension questions!!!

I'm looking at a BMR Performance suspension set, my main objective is to road race at PBIR on the weekends until I get used to the feel of my car. Just purchased it a few months ago, it's a 2002 Z28 Camaro, and I have found a lot of oversteer and understeer, what components correct these issues and what are some companies that you are using or have heard of. Thanks guys.

Oversteer and understeer at the same time?

Does the car have any particular modifications?

Are you planning for it to be a street car which goes road racing a few times a season?

Hey there, PBIR is a fun track! If you could, please explain what the car is doing, and when it does it. I can better address the issues if I know the car's behavior. What do you currently have done to the car?

Like UMI and BMR said, you need to be more specific. You are experiencing understeer AND oversteer?


You can make these cars handle well at the track. The single most important area to adress is shocks and springs. The factory decarbon shocks are absolutely garbage. Pick up a set of Koni's if you have the money, or Bilstien for a little less change. Pair them with a nice spring and the difference will be astonishing.

Depending on how much you want to spend you can go from there. Sway bars, fays2 watts link, Tubular LCA's, tubular a arms, k member, torque arm, etc etc
