Why do you think Chris is getting so much oversteer? I personally think he's got way more whp than anything under 305 will comfortably handle.. hard to find that in 18" with trackable tires.. Chris you've got super-soft rear sways right? Hotchkis is known for uber stiff hardware.. ok up front but maybe even run stock swaybar out back when you autoX so the tires will hook up properly and not skate..

I actually need to update my WHP as I'm now at 324whp and 269tq but that is probably what causes even more of a problem lol. I do have Hotchkis and they are set on the softest settings. I also have Powertrix coilovers that I also tried to set much softer with only about 4 clicks out of 15. The fronts I run at about 10 clicks and I've been trying to experiment on a road out here that is pretty curvy to see what feels better. Upcoming season with new tires I know that I will need to readjust my configuration yet again anyways would rather get the tires right the first time and adjust suspension as needed. I feel my tires are my biggest issue at the moment which is why I'm gettin a new set for next season. I noticed you said you recommend the RS-3's over the other tires I mentioned. According to tirerack, their tests say both the Direzza and the RE-11's have better cornering, dry traction and steering response. Do you have first hand experience with all of them? Just wondering as I'm caught up trying to decide between all 3! Thanks in advance!
