Here's my question:
I autocrossed my car last year with the stock bar, this year I'm using the BWR "hardcore" bar with a new alignment...I have a little bit of toe out in the front, and neutral toe in the rear. I'm running in the local tire index (think RTR in terms of national classes)...this year I'm using the Dunlop Z2's.
I've got the bar on the softest setting, and it does seem to keep the inside rear tire down better exiting sharp corners. However, in sweepers (which our local course designers will usually incorporate into their courses) I feel like I'm waiting, waiting, waiting to get back to the throttle because the front end wants to wash out. This tendency to understeer with the stiffer front bar isn't a big surprise, but I'm looking for ways to get the car to rotate a little better...it was much easier to rotate with the stock bar. I'm going to try some things with tire pressure at the next event, specifically running rear pressure much lower that my usual settings.
Anyone have advice on tire pressures?
Would it be easier to get a nice balance in the car with the "street" bar when using non-R-comp tires like mine? Anyone having success at big events with the "street" bar, or does it just allow too much wheelspin?
Thanks,
