Ok it was raining all night sat by me. So I figure this would be a good chance to see where my limits are. What I mean by this is obviously it will cause your tires to break loose earlier, but I figured they would break loose at the same time in reference to on dry days just at a faster speed. Sound good? Well basically what I am getting at is it seems like my setup works out good for a neutral handleing.
I have H&R sports/ Bilstein sports, Neuspeed 28mm rear sway (middle setting), strut tower bars front and rear and 16x7's wraped in pirelli's 205/45/zr16's.
From what I've noticed it seems as if I can induce just about any steering problem. This meaning neutral, under or over steer. I get understeer from too much gas spinning the tires (something I will rarely get on a dry day / 2.0). Neutral if I use the right amount of gas or none at all. And I can get an over steer by using too much brake (obviously). So from this it seems to handle pretty good.
Tell me what you guys think about these handleing characteristics? And if this is a good prediction of what it will do on dry pavement?

yeah dude... rain you have a LOT less of a chance of instantly re-gaining traction and correcting your problem than you do on dry ground where when you react the tires will just grip again. No lubrication
