Hi,
Could someone please help me out with my car's understeer. My current set up is the following:
2002 boxster s
HR springs with M030 factory setup
rear tires: 275/35/18 30 PSI
front tires: 245/40/18 25 PSI
new Sumitomo HTR Z III Tires x4
7mm HR spacers on all 4 sides.

Handles great, but when pushed, there is severe tire grinding understeer. The rear never lets loose.

Any ideas on a easy inexpensive fix for this? Also what causes understeer (in novice terms)

Thanks for the information,
James
