RE: how to combat understeer?
not really, because knowledge is power.
the more you know about suspension and suspension theory, the more you'll know how to answer your own questions in the future.
just remember: slight understeer is better than oversteer unless you plan on drifting. and fwd cars suck at drifting...

i agree that you want some oversteer but not quite with everything byers is saying. I hope byers doesn't think i'm picking with him, just having a friendly discussion. Everything you have posted has been exactly what i have agreed with. Understeer IS EASIER to drive with and everything you have posted says just that, just like i have said.

And that increased steering sensitivity near and past the limit requires vigilance and skill many drivers don’t have, yet desperately need as the world rotates terrifyingly around their windows.

That's great man, like i said, i don't want any harsh feelings and i agree that you should go with some understeer because it's safer and easier to drive, but it isn't the fastest in a front wheel drive car.
Btw, i really wanna see some more pics of your integra! Update your gallery.
