Question suspension setting..

I have stechs with illuminas.
In the tokiko instruction it says that firmer in the front is the ideal setting, like 4f, 3r, to increase understeer. my current setup is 3f, 4r, along with many of the Orgers using the same struts.
Should I reverse this to 4f, 3r, such as the pamphlet suggested, to increase understeer?

That all depends on if you want more understeer. Personally, I feel more comfortable with oversteer, even i a FWD car. I just hate when i turn hte wheel, front tires lose it, and i keep sliding that direction. I would much rather have my backside get a little movement. That's just my preference though. It would seem that those new specifications would enourage understeer, so go for it if that is what you like.

Maximas already have too much understeer. I like to keep my rears 1 setting firmer than the front to balance things out a bit. This helps it toward a neutral feeling, but the Max will still understeer a bit. True oversteer would be a bit tricky to control in a FWD car. But you really have to try, to dial out all of the understeer inherent in our car's design.
