I think I will try the 275/18s with the bar on full-soft, then try the bar in the middle setting if needed.

The TTA lap record holder at VIR runs the 275/35/18s and doesn't care for the 17s all around.... specifically that the car feels less planted which is precisely what I was experienceing. He runs the rear bar on full soft and found the car to be too tail happy with it in the middle setting.

Most ST2 racers who run T1 bars run it in the middle setting, but they're running a 315 tire most of the time.
The slode adjustable bars that I was using were made by K-Mac in Australia. They use a slide coupling on each side of the bar for the drop links. The slide has a friction lock set up whereby you undo a nut, slide the fitting/droplink along the bar to your desired setting and then tighten. Adjustment can be done very quickly. I used this to tune all the time at the track. Way more utility than the likes of the bar on the front of the Panoz.

You may be able to convert your bars, a mod worth looking at if legal. Other option is in car blade adjustable bars. These are way more expensive though.

Kel.
