I am running Tokico springs and "blues," and ST bars. I have -2.3° camber front and -1.3° camber rear, and 0° toe. I have a hand-fabricated front STB. I have been fighting oversteer all season.
I run 15x6.5" 38mm rims with 195 Kumho 712s on the street (35psi all around) and have no complaints. Check your alignment if you are understeering excessively.
I am looking at going to 13x9's and 235/45R13 V700's in a few years, but have to check for clearance first. I will run 215's next season.

How do the 205/60R13 R tires feel on the track compared to the 195/50/15's? Do you know if the Potenza S-03 Pole Position 205/50/15's are good tires? Also, to let you know my experience with tires, I ran the Kumho 712 205/50/15's on my 15x6.5" rims and they rubbed in the wheel well in the rear. I had the fender cut and tucked but it didn't touch there, it touched kinda where the top of the wheel well is. That's the main reason why I'm asking about the tire widths. Could it just be that my car's lowered with the Eibach Sportline Springs or is it the KYB GR-2 struts not being stiff enough?
Do Z rated tires give better traction/handling than V rated tires?
I don't know how to describe the steering... if feels neutral some days, other times it kinda feels like oversteering, and the other times it feels like understeering. Could it depend on the tire temperature? I also have an upgraded rack & pinion with a 2.7 lock-to-lock ratio vs the factory 3.2.
Thanks for all your help,
