a. practice: learnin things you can do that make the car not understeer... (which frankly, iThink, is ludicrous... you can slide too far and off th road maybe, but how does a car thats *fishtailing* have *understeer*?!)

b. Limited Slip Differential: clutch type, 2-way (for drifting)

c. practice *with* your new lsd

d. continue practicing

All S13's understeer to an extent (in stock form). Such is how our suspension is set up.

No, no. You don't want too big of a rear sway, or you'll have your rear end going EVERYWHERE. 21mm sways should be big enough (*cough*hicas sways*cough*).

Put really good tires on the front wheels and crappy tires on the back. The difference in grip levels will cause some incredible oversteer, I can attest to this.
