Having high rate spring rates doesn't help :)

Well sort of except I must have hit the brakes hard and turned :) This was at the new Carlisle mini-road course:

Need stiffer springs or bigger front sway bar :)

Here's the rest of the pics:

Looks like a lot of fun, I gotta autocross one of these days!
What springs/shocks do you have now, just stock?

BTW, did you paint your calipers red?

I got high springrates too and my car is lighter, about 2200LBS

Koni Yellows, and Ground Control custom springs (350f/400r).

Yes the calipers are painted red.

Call me crazy but aren't the fronts supposed to be stiffer than the rears?

I figured that but the oversteer must be a killer.

The car is actually pretty well balanced. I can induce rotation/oversteer with late braking and a simple twist of the steering wheel. It's not bad with stock anti-sway bars. With a bigger rear bar then it's a different story.

This setup was recommended by alot of people on ClubSi.com

Sorry I was just kidding. That was a section of the course where it's off camber, I was braking hard and turning at the same time. The guy who took the picture got me in a perfect shot.

I bet that w/ stock setup, you had that kind of sway at 30MPH. now you can do 50or more to get the same sway. So thechincally they did help. If you want even less sway, get a rollcage.
