M'Kehyah is a GT/AWD with OEM 18" wheels and the original all season (low performance) tires.

She understeers too easily IMHO (coming from a Mitsu Ralliart Sportback with Eibach Pro Kit and wider 225/45/18 tires on the OEM rims).
Can not/will not rotate. She just 'plows' like mom's '80s Oldsmobile GutlessCutless ;)

What should I do first?
UHP summer tires? Wider?
Pro Kit?
Swaybars?

other?

Thanks!

tires and springs will be the first thing I would address.

Agree completely with the tires. The all season tires have enough bite to keep it from coming around.

Also, make sure that you're taking the leash off with the trac control button. The Electronic Stability Control will keep her rear from shaking too if you leave those active.


Then you also have the BRILLIANT option of throwing on a JB4 and pushing the torque up so that those all season tires can't hold on any more. LOL

Sway bar. As in singular. Only the rear!
That will give you more rotation.
