'03 SE outhandles KYB/Maxspeed '01 GLE!

OK this is crazy. My '01 has KYB/GR2 shocks, Maxspeed springs and a FSTB on stock 16s with $hitty NT450s.

The '03 SE is bone stock.

The delema is the '03 will rotate around a corner MUCH better than my '01. It just has better turn-in response and can be carried around a corner much faster and more neutral than the '01.

My '01 is a understeering monster.

Do you think the current setup on the '01 creates to much understeer? Actually it does. What do you think is causing so much understeer on the '01. The '01 never handled like the '03. I think the front is to stiff compared with the rear and is causing understeer. My next purchase is a RSB for the '01 to hopefully correct this problem.

I am just shocked the '03 will turn circles around my FSTB, Maxspeed, KYB '01!

My 2000 oversteers very readily with the Addco on it. Just be careful on uneven pavement - the swaybar tends to cause a little hop on bumpy roads.
