High speed oversteer
Increase downforce on rear, Or;
decrease downforce on front, Or;
do both very gently.

Did they also pay the repair bill for the damage? 
But since the new one's for the street won't break...no problem.

very good info on here...
does TCD BSK rearsubs only for track use?
ive been told that the AP1 suffer the rear bump steer problem but also about a more oversteer issue too. the AP2 fixed this with a the new uprgaded full rear subframe and better tires in the rear...is this true?
im trying to understand if the subframe from the AP2 really made a difference or was it just rims and tires...

It may also have reduced oversteer, but most of the oversteer would have been dialed out by the smaller rear swaybar, the softer rear springs, and the increased rear tire bias in the front-to-rear stagger.
Note that the BSK (either TCD or Megan) does not replace the rear subframe...only the trailing control arm that impacts rear toe. It takes about 10min per side to install.

THere is something that I do not understand, acording to the pdf, if you want highspeed oversteer decrease downforce on the rear and increase downforce on the rear? isnt the opposite??

Is there a set of specs like "This is the amount (x) of toe change you have over this (y) suspension arm travel range" and then how much you wanted to take out (All, of course.)?

I ended up getting the AP2 knuckles, but never got around to doing the conversion. Went I went through the parts list between AP1/2 I noticed the only difference in parts is the subframe, knuckle and upper arms. All existing parts can be reused.
