Car handling balance?

Question

starting with standard stiffness suspension and roll bars, but lowered, if i add stiffer front springs with standard rear will this help turn in and reduce understeer or increase understeer.

RandyC it is a car used on a track so the handling of a standard car is far from optimal, generally set up with lots of understeer to stop idiots crashing when they lose the back end, this is no good for a track.
please think before you type and dont assume i am an idiot.

The car is front engine rear drive, fairly low power so tail happy is better than understeer.
Rear solid axle so no camber probs, front camber checked, has increased slightly with the lowering but only a bit and should help with turn in.

Look I do this at the race track all the time. But i cannot guess if your car is front or rear wheel drive. AS always Year Make Model and current mileage really helps stiffer lowering front springs might to just what you want or the exact thing you want to eliminate. My 2006 GTO is very heavy to control turn in understeer the sway bars worked wonders then lowering and breaking caused toe out in the turns and even more understeer. And tires wheels really muck up the mix Width of contact patch can really push and pull on the struts. Once I put slicks on the power steering could not keep up with extra forces and overheated. So be carefull talk to other owners with your type of chassis set up and see what the fast guy's do. If you want to talk road racing dynamics E-mail;

Should not matter. It is already messed up. Vehicles are set up at factory and modications are not needed. Put it back the way the way it was.
