One person said they were going to increase the rear pressure to induce oversteer. Not likely! Increasing the rear pressure (like 45-50 psi) will shrink the size of the contact patch some it might undesteer a little less, but it won't allow you to oversteer.
There are two ways to combat U.S. in a FWD car:
1. change the suspension. That includes stiffening the rear roll resistance a whole lot and stiffening the front some to keep the roll resistance percentage close. Changing th roll resistance requires stiffer springs, firmer dampers to control the springs, and possably a new rear sway-bar to help tune the handling.
2. left foot braking: this is where you apply the brakes with the left foot while the right foot stays on the gas. This helps the car rotate, i.e. oversteer some, in corners. This is a dirfficult skill and takes lots of practice to perfect.
