Hello All,
        I have a handleing question for everybody.  Sense I redid the rear end
and cut my rear bump stops to the 'improved street version' from Bob Sharpes
manual I have noticed a change in how the car goes around corners.
        I have the comp springs and swaybar upfront with the stock bumpstops.
Now when I go around corners it feels like the rear end is 'pushing'?? the 
front end of the car and causing the car to turn wider than before or in 
extreme cases the front tires lose traction and slide where before pulling 
the same stunt they would not?? 
        Is there a name for this condition?/ Oversteer?/ Understeer??? I am 
hoping that cutting down the front stops will fix this??
