So it was kinda late that i decided to go for a ride up the hill. The road was a bit wet due to some downpours earlier, the sun was already out then. Going up was very fun, pushing the limit of the car with some understeers, which i found was minor issues. Then going down was a bit scary. I passed by a few cars and up to a corner, put down to gear two, i put down about 50%of throttle and the car started to understeer and i lost balance. I was practically sliding to the left when taking a right corner. At that point, a taxi was right in front of me on the slow lane. As the car badly understeered i tried to counter the wheel the other way, as if i was drifting, but my bad was not to play with the gas, so the car was still not properly undercontrolled. Luckily i didnt hit the taxi on my left. But as my car swerved back to the right side, i was ready to hit the wall and suffer all the consequences thereafter. Do note that at this moment i was doing around 30-40 km/h going downhill, which i thought was an OK speed. Even if i hit the wall, i believed the destruction won't be too bad but i was more concerned on other people's safety; ie cars behind me. God was on my side, i didn't hit any wall/taxi nor did the DC5 sustain any injury. My question is what makes the car understeered so bad? I also found that taking corner are getting scarier the more i drives. I lost my confidence whenever i see wet road + corners. Some more it's raining almost every evening these days and when i push on the throttle when taking corners the car will lose it's traction and swerve again. This is not an FR! BTW the car is completely stock with M7 exhaust, intake, brakepad + PZERO Nero 225/45ZR17 with 70% thread. I suspect the tires must have something to do with it, but i bet there are more reasons behind it. Should i change the suspension? Wish for anyone who have similar experiences can share with us here and also suggest any modification i should do on the car. Thanks.</blockquote>
