[V8] Koni Sport Settings

[Coleman, David]

Hey Scott -- I'm surprised you want to dial out oversteer -- it must be
pretty significant.   You might get good results just by bumping the
rear tire pressure a couple few pounds?

 I have a slight push at 0/0.  If Bruce still has that rear urS4 sway
bar, I'm thinking of going that route to loosen up the back a tad...
