Default Handling questions

Watsup guys. I'm new to the forum and would appreciate any advice you guys can give me.

I am seriously considering buying a 350z but I have some questions. I hear that despite its great handling the 350z tends to understeer in cornering. This is probably a dumb question but, with the correct suspension tuning, is it possible to give the car a slight oversteer without negatively affecting the overall handling of the car?

Has anyone had any success in doing this?

In steady state cornering the 350Z does understeer slightly at the limit, but it's just manufacturers settings. On the current model it's not really an issue on the road, but noticeable when pushing hard on a track.

Easily fixed with normal suspension mods though. Sway bars are probably the easiest.

Get the 350Z first. We can work on the suspension later.

$315 for a set of Hotchkis bars and the problem is solved.
