I have no idea how people are running this car with no rear bar, or just stock rear bar with a huge Hotchkis front bar. I run this car on square 275 tire and staggered setup (275/295 or 265/285).
On all tire setups, I still run my Hotchkis rear on full stiff, with 1000lb rear springs (divorced OE setup) along with a 900lb front spring.

The car handles perfectly neutral on 275/295 (18" tires) and 265/285 (19" tires) for the track. On square it's just a bit free. I don't understand how people drive these cars without frustration on track.
I guess people like understeer.

Reminds me of E92 M3 land, where all the owners don't install a rear aftermarket swaybar simply because it's difficult, and then run a very small spring split. I run the hotchkis rear on full stiff in that car on square tire setup with no aero and the car handles beautifully. Again, people must like understeer.
