I re tuned my Suspension yet again. I set the front sway bar in the middle. Removed the rear sway bar. Reinstalled my Kenny Brown Rear roll center relocate kit.( Drops the Panhard bar about 6 inches.) Used full stiff on front and rear shocks.(Koni yellows) I have been chasing balanced grip since I have owned the car. I was close at Button Willow and it felt good. but I had to give up on front grip to get it there, Front sway bar on full hard and a 18mm rear bar. (Panhard bar in stock local.) Since I did the gear change I wanted to get my front grip back. That's why the other changes. How dose it drive? No drama ! It just turns and jumps off the corners. It's much easier to control and feels like it handles the bumps better also. I think the trick to getting it to work together is the shock settings. Even at full still, It dose not upset the car if you hit a bump in a turn. The best part, I still can go soft for the street. We will see at Laguna if it really works !
 
Cool. What tire setup are you running?
 
Do not run Koni yellows on full stiff. They will lockout and bind. Do a YouTube video search. If you need more stiffness, go with stiffer springs.

Thanks for the advice, I can't say I have ever had that happen, will keep an eye on it.
