Re: On a 986, what factors are the most likely to influence oversteer?
How much rear camber do you have?
IIRC, more camber in the rear reduces over steer.

Changes your tires pressures? a bit more in the rear/ a bit less in front?

Firmer damper setting in front, softer in rear?

I know there is a link on changing the characteristics of understeer/oversteer by various means; if I find it I'll post it.
