Hey Coyled:
Here are the rules for understeer/oversteer

To reduce understeer
use softer springs in the front
use stiffer springs in the back
use softer sway bar in the front
use stiffer sway bar in the back
use softer shock in the front
use stiffer shock in the back


If the push is happening under braking, bias the brakes toward the back more. The stiffer shocks in the back (softer in the front)will have no effect once the car reaches an equilibrium. The shocks have their effect during transition.

The Cobra tends to push because most have bigger tires in the back which are also farther apart. Playing with Toe-in or out will have little or no effect. A bigger tire up front would also help.

Also keep in mind that when leaving a turn a little power tends to give understeer (push) while a lot of power tends to give oversteer (loose). The rules for correcting problems on road courses are different than on ovals.
