    Friday was just practice. And I bet your tires were new too on Friday? Under race conditions with 2-3 heat cycle tires I can't see a car that stiff being consistent.

    Jerry,

    I have a set of super race springs you can borrow. However, I predict that your rear looseness and delay to power will get worse with the increased spring rate. Now that you have reinforced your upper control arm mounting, I suggest you try a poor man's 3-link with a panhard bar.

    All you need are good shocks. I've seen the video of what your car is doing. Text book worn shocks. Your car is just like mine so I'm not just pulling suggestions out of my ass.

    I genuinely am trying to help not just argue to argue.

    Your snap oversteer is from your rear shock bottoming out under full cornering load. It's consistent on almost every turn for you. That's why you have to baby the throttle all the time.

    Not trying to hijack the thread but I will be switching from the PM3L back to the 4-link for TWS. I just want to try something different b/c I have had the PM3L on my car since 2009.

    Spring rate helps with shock bottoming. My rate is where it is because of the ride height and avoiding shock bottoming.

    Thanks Aaron. My shocks are at least six years old. I know I had to replace one of them two years ago but I will try new shocks before I do anything else. Before I started running the set-up that Aaron runs I was running a panhard bar and the car pushed like a dump truck on right turns and was not fun to drive. This is the best it has ever been but it is so damn loose it could be better.

    Thanks for the offers on the Super Race springs. This is why CMC is the only place to race.
