I know it will cause more on a FWD car, but i never heard it affecting a RWD. You can play with the ARB's to adjust for understeer and overstreer.

It will not give you understeer at all.

Cotty she won't understeer no more than standard. As u have a strut brace? this will help for a crisper turn in, imo

why would you want to drop it 60 at the front and 40 at the rear?
should it not be 40 at the front and 60 at the rear, to save your sump,
i had my sport 60 at the front and i hit the sump all the time, pain in the ass if you ask me, but then i like low cars and put up with it and wanted the rear 80
