I will go as far as to say if anyone who actually attempted to go around a tight corner in the wet with some speed would surly be off into the ditch or oncoming traffic. Unfortunatly what I see on forums is too much advise that is just regurgitated from what they have read from others and very little from real world experience. I'm not saying you dont have any but if we just focus on the above scenario and setups which most are running it's not ideal in my opinion
I actually did try the stiffest setting front and softest rear with my stillens on a wet track day with stock stagger just to see what everyone is talking about and concluded my original feeling that I do not need a super stiff front bar. front end was so incredibly loose and understeer I instantly put it full soft after 1st session. guess to each their own or maybe if I was squared but I don't see the need for a 200+% increase in the front. the new z1 bars look interesting as its close to the hotchkiss yet allows some adjustment.
