So if I lift the entire car a 1/2" or so how will this change the handling? I do not have the alignment specs. what do you guys think is the simplest way to adjust the car for street use. I do not track this car. just some crazy back road blasts .
At least part of your understeer problem has to do with the extra wide tires you have on the rear. You need wider tires up front as well, like a 245 to balance out the back. The Pirelli's you have are ok, but there are better street tires out there for ultimate grip. Look into Kuhmo XS, Bridgestone RE-11, or Dunlop Star Specs. On a well set up car you'd have to have a death wish to overwhelm those tires on the street.
