Did you get this problem when you went to coilovers? What rear spring rates are you running?

i think it's purely a cornerweighting problem. previously I was lifting a front tire through corners, so it's all about balance I'm guessing. My problem at the moment is I can't lower the rear more due to clearance (need to pull the fender more or just cut it) and don't want to raise the front due to ideal geometry.

Springrates are 9kg/mm front, 7kg/mm rear. Tires are 275/40/R17 front 315/35/R17 rear.

found a loose bolt on the rear sway. popped another one in and rox0red today. was .4sec ahead of the guys that beat me by .7 yesterday. Throttling around corners is much more fun when the car is balanced.

WTS: brick (for use on HaLo's gas pedal). j/k :P

Yeah, I know. I sucked.

Seriously, I need to start hitting some cones. I am not going fast enough. I managed to gain 1 position with sunday's result, but 12/15 ain't that great. I am looking into losing some more weight...

On some courses I can mentally try to tag cones (probably why I hit so many) to keep my line tight. That course was really high paced though, so it was tough to even try. There were a couple turns that just made or broke you if you didn't have the right line (turns off the first section and onto last section come to mind). Anyways, you didn't come in last!! So it could have been worse :P
