I have an 08 Honda civic (not a hatchback) it's fully modded with an aerokit, but the car is very tight (under steer) in the corners, does anyone have any advice? I've tried the search function but to no avail. please help

negative toe front and rear with a decent amount of camber and stiffen the suspension :).
 
Stiffer front spring rate, bare in mind this is an FF car and generally speaking there's more weight towards the front.

FF cars benefit from more rear negative camber because, vice versa for MR and FR. A bit of a grey area for 4WD because that depends on torque-split.

Anyway, dial in more negative camber at the rear than the front. I recommend -2.0 / -2.5

I've seen a lot of fast FWD track/autocross cars and most of them ran so much more front camber than rear that you could eyeball it quite easily. It might reduce understeer running excessive camber in the rear, but you're achieving it by essentially reducing the rear contact patch, which I would argue is the wrong way to do it. If GT allowed positive camber I'm sure running positive rear camber would achieve the same result, but this would also be a bad idea for obvious reasons.

I see, I shall try up the camber! I tuned with tire conservation in mind, I once ran the nurb' and I had almost no tires towards the end. I was afraid that any more camber would result in even more wear.

Thanks for your tip though!

Cheers
