suspension soft

After doing more research into suspension and understeer, I've narrowed my issue to two possible problems:

Tire pressure: I'm running 29f / 32r. Recommendations? Others seem to start at 32 / 31.


Me: I'm carrying too much speed into corners and not lifting enough, thus not enough weight transfer.

I'm actually having the same issue with my Cayman and we haven't narrowed it down very much. I changed my fronts (which were getting old and hard) and it helped, but I am still pushing hard expecially in the slow corners.

The next thing I am going to try is an alignment... It's possible that I have too much camber in my front wheels which not allowing my wheel to sit flat, but at just 1.5 degrees negative that doesn't seem like enough to cause that sort of problems.

Most likely the culprit is my shocks, which are probably just worn out, making them soft. Soft shocks at the rear (where all the weight is) theoretically makes the back end grip more... upsetting the balance... I'm hoping this isn't the case because I don't feel like spending $1000 on new rear struts...
