Help with Oversteer

[Z06vette]

I have found this to be true as well. My car tends to push on the autocross. The more I dial up the rear shock setting, the better the car turns. Softening the setting creates more push. I also dont like the mismatched types & brands of shocks. But I have no business making suggestions, as I am no expert by any means. Just relaying my experiences. Why not put the softer springs back in and just raise the rear ride height to help with tire rub? Where is it rubbing? Can you roll the lip? Or maybe a 250lb spring is the sweet spot for you?

I will look for Ron's suspension post. Regarding air pressure I actually lowered it in relation to the front. I have different brands of shocks because I bought the Speedtech parts first then the Viking shocks became available later. The tire rubs mostly on the inside of the rear wheel wels as I did not mini tub the car. The 300# springs definitely helped that problem and the new handling characteristics do make the car change direction faster. I just want to dial it back a bit if I can do it without buying another set of springs. I will probably start with lowering the rear a bit and it sounds like softening the shock setting is going in the right direction.

its tough to give proper spring recommendations without corner and vehicle weights....but i also dont like mixing the shocks, the two have different compression and rebound curves, not to mention that the Viking is a digressive piston twin tube double adjustable shock, and the ridetech shock is a linear piston mono tube rebound adjust only shock (unless it is brand new then it might be the new digressive piston ones) so they react completely different as the flow thru the shock oil

there is so much that needs to be discussed before a base can setup can be designed

I "think" the only Ridetech singles with digressive pistons & valving are the ones they do for me. But maybe someone else is having them do some for them too.
