I have a 2001 C4 which handles great, but whenever I have a decent head wind my car feels light in the corners with increased understeer. Does anyone else have this issue and is there anything I can do about it?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My '02 C2 Cab with stock suspension also felt a bit "light" at speed--same effect as driving in strong headwind, just a different (and more fun, IMHO!) way to achieve it. I swapped out the stock suspension for the M030 RoW kit, which amongst other things lowers the front end by about 3/4". After this upgrade, the car is now noticeably more "planted" at speed. If modifying suspension isn't appealing, the other alternative is to modify the front end aerodynamics. You can either swap the front bumper cover for a larger one, or add the 996 GT3 "chin spoiler" to your existing bumper cover. The latter is much less expensive and there's a good DIY on Renntech.org that gives you very detailed installation tips as well as identifies the part number to order ( http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic...tandard-bumper ).

Thanks the chin spoiler sounds like a good option to start with.

my 99 c2 is all over the place in the wind. No matter how its getting hit

Same with my '99. I notice it the most on the freeway, when there will be trees on both sides of the highway, and then you will get into an area where there are no trees, and the wind blows the car all around for a second. I assume some of it has to do with the weight of the car, and the rest aerodynamics and not enough down-force in the front, as that is where the wind buffeting seems to be the most prevalent.
