well if the mods are current below, your car will understeer cuz its got no suspension, or you're entering the turn wrong.

Soft front and med rear or med front and stiff rear. It shouldn't matter if you have stock suspension. How's your tire still have a good amount of thread on it? Tire pressure correct?

You can cure mild to moderate understeering with sway bars, tires and suspension mods. However, the only thing that will cure SEVERE understeer in the G is driving school.

I am currently running stock suspension. I forgot to add to my original post that I just put on 245/35/19 275/30/19 Toyo T1R that have pretty much 100% tread. They have had time ot break in.

So many factors can contribute to under steer on a G, like tire width staggers, suspension settings, etc.

As for the sways, try med. to med/soft front and all the way stiff on the rear, (a very common setting for our cars).

+1, try medium in the rear and soft on the front, if it doesn't help, try stiff rear and medium front. But on a stock suspension med/soft should do it.

Is this your experience with a wide range of cornering speeds and radius's? I would expect more of what you talking about to turn up in really tight low speed corners where push is going to be more of a issue. What tires are you on and what pressure's are you using?

Yes, it is much more apparent at really tight low speed turns. I am running 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear Toyo T1R on stock 19's.
