    Handling for Audi Quattros

    Greg, you mentioned 'head toss' earlier as it was related to stiffer roll bars. I've noticed that there is a bit of head toss now that I've fitted the stiffer rear bar. Is this fixable by fitting softer springs, or is it only fixable by reducing the size of the rear bar? I actually have a...

    Can anyone tell me how to improve the handling of an all-wheel drive Audi, particularly in regard to the fairly chronic understeer they suffer from. I would like to understand the physics of car handling a little better too, if someone can spare a little time to let me know how a stiffer rear...
