want to create mild oversteer in a 73.
What is the easyest way to create mild oversteer in a big bodied mustang. I have seen a few threads on kits and such but the end result always seems to be understeer.

What are the current spring rates? sway bar? tire sizes?
After you know these, then either soften the front spring rate or raise the rear spring rate. Sometimes more sway bar will help, but increasing the front bar will increase the front roll couple. You might need to go softer on the springs and use a bigger bar to set the front better. Or if the old rear springs are weak, new springs, or increase the rate of the rear springs.
At what speed are you wanting the oversteer? getting understeer @ 50mph is one thing, but the same setup might make the car horrible @ 75mph.
Or, are you wanting a power induced oversteer like you use on a dirt car? Assuming you can't run the car flat out all the time, the way you pick up the throttle will affect the understeer/oversteer quite a bit.
from you screen tag, I'm assuming you're a dirt racer. Its the same principles as your race car, but you have to do the changes equally on both sides, not just one side to make the car go in circles.
