Evo 8 Suspension help
hey guys, i live in jamaica. the roads here are like rally/tarmac circuit, bumpy roads avoiding holes and other things in th road. my evo has 441whp and 400 torque. i need to make my car handle as best as possible. since roads here i really fun lol. When i go into corners my car has a tendency to step out in the rear!! maybe i am going beyond's the car limit, but anything that can be used to increase handling would be greatly appreciated. Here are my suspension Mods, its not much so i know there is plenty of room for modifications.
HKS Coilovers hipermax II rs
hotchkis rear adjustable sway bar (car came with this, can u tell me which setting is best)
Kumho ecsta tires treadwear is 220, tire size is 245/45/17. these are on factory wheels
Gimme some Info lol,

Not beyond the cars limit - might be beyond the drivers. Secondly, driving like that on public roads is a good way to get yourself or someone else killed. I have been to Jamaica many times, going that fast is not wise. Not trying to be harsh but to the point.
Having a rear sway bar will cause that. Try the softest setting on the sway bar.
Take the car to the road course track (I know there is one there). Get instruction - become a better driver. Keep the racing on the track.

Good luck and yes putting in a bigger sway bar in the rear will cause the car to oversteer.
Have you had a good alignment job performed???
If so go with some nice street settings. -2 in the front with 0 toe and -1 in the rear with 0 toe and you should be able to handle those corners a little better.
Jamaican EVO drivers FTW!!! LORD HAVE MERCY!!!
