That's sort of the million-dollar question we're all asking, isn't it? So far I've had mixed results. The air shocks have helped a lot. With 50 psi in the rear tires and 34-38 in the front, I get some rotation when trail-braking into corners. I only get seriously ugly understeer when trying to drive too fast through hairpins. As I learn to drive the car better, I can avoid this. Sometimes. Hopefully adjustable shocks, when they finally come out, will help with this somewhat. But for now it's just part of the package that I have to live with and I try to make up the time in other parts of the course. Like slaloms, where the Fit excels. There's a reason, after all, that the Fit beat Ferrari and Corvette Z06 in slalom times in many of the car magazine tests! I can take nearly any slalom flat-out, while the faster cars have to back off or risk spinning out.
