I'm looking for different options to fix the slight push in my EVO. It sounds like the 23mm rear sway bar with the Perrin end links is the way to go, but my question is has anyone tried just the 2' of negative camber in the front?

What I have done to help the front end push is to adjust the rear toe. What are the settings on your alignment? I put a special aligment in mine and it works well, even with 1 degree neg camber.

Also your driving style will effect the push that you are get.

If you have questions, PM me. I've been experimenting a little with this.

I've been driving with maximum achievable negative front camber (-2 degrees couldn't be done, but -1.6 to -1.8 degrees) since early July, both street driving and six autoX days.

It doesn't cure the car of all understeer, not at all.

I've also been told by somebody (who takes his Evo to the track regularly) that a rear sway bar upgrade really helps.

Where is your Evo pushing? Into the corner, mid-corner, or out of the corner?

There are a couple of ways to fix the push. Since they are all wheel drive, they have the tendency to push no matter what. You can work on the car or the driver. The rear sway bar will stiffen up the back allowing the car to rotate or "Dog leg the inside rear tire. When this happens, the outside rear tire will force the car around in the direction that you are going and help to eliminate the push. In an autox situation, your rear tire pressures will also help out quite a bit, but this again is what the driver is used to. If you can rotate the rear and let the front tires "Pull the car" the push is minimized. Also the alignment that you have out back is critical in this area.

Best I have managed up front is -1.6 degrees. Anything more will take replacing or modifying the existing cam bolts.
