C3 over steer problem
Guys I have just put a carbon fibre rear spring and 4 new Bilstein shocks on my 75 Vette and I seem to be getting snap oversteer.
Can you give me any suggestions what I can do to fix the problem?
Will a larger front stabiliser bar hep?
Cheers
Paul.

If the new rear spring has a higher rate than the old spring, you are effectively transferring dynamic weight to the front of the car. If the alignment checks out, then you need to tune the suspension to move some of the front weight to the back, like with a tighter front bar. And don't overlook air pressure adjustments. It might be solvable by taking a couple psi out of the rear tires. It would cost you nothing to try it.

Going to "unlink" mine and drive it for a bit to see if that help.
Gong from a gymkahana front and rear to a 330lb rear fiberglass spring. Didnt mess with the front springs. Still the original 36 year old ones.
I'll give it a whirl and see what happens.
