Yea I was trying to admit fault in my late braking which led to multiple driving inputs(bad). I know thats not the way to drive. My focus here was to determine swaybar settings based on my low grip tires and springs only suspension mod. So I should increase front stiffness and leave the rear on medium setting?

And when it comes to the VDC, my concern is wheel spin on launch and corner exits. Hopefully the track is a safe distance from curbs and trees and I'll feel better. I'd like to make a run without the VDC engaging to boost my confidence. I wouldnt mind spinning out and learn my boundaries if I had a safe place to do it.
