Default Prob after lowering

I seem to suffer pretty bad from understeer after my lowering. Prob dropped it around 50-60mm and i just dont turn. Obviously this only happens when im giving it a bit but i can corner at 30 and its will be struggling for grip. any tips advice?

thanks

its probabley becuase were you have lowered it so much that the rear camber has increased majorly a person i know done this and had issues when only dropping it 25mm, becuase the garage put the camber back wrong!

would the rear camber make it understeer so bad? Ive had a geo done afterwards and all corners are within spec?

you need to get the geometry reset, a 60mm drop will move everything out by miles

if in doubt, ask another garage or post up some pics of the front and rear looking at the front or back to show the camber
