There is a whole lot more you can do up front, but it is wasted effort unless you can prove it first with sufficient, reliable CFD or in a tunnel. Cost = $texas.

Jason is right, there is a lot to be learned, but there is no reason not to baseline your start point off of what others have proven to work. That said, everyone is not the same in what they look for in a car, so it should be just a starting point. It took me almost 3 years to get a consistent set-up for differing surfaces we run in national autox. Once I got it...I decided to go road racing and had to change everything .

Bottom line, you need to ditch that rear spring. There is no reason to try and cure an oversteery car by adding a ton of rear wing/drag to the butt of the car. It's all about balance, man.

Yeah leave aero alone for a while, would agree. This car does not need a ton of aero in the rear to put in good times. If the problem is the springs, don't fix the springs by adding more aero. Like 350 said, it takes a long time to dial in. My car was barely drivable, scared the hell out of me from last august to just this april. It's not gran turismo unfortunately lol, it takes a long long time. If you keep adding problems on top of problems, you will never figure anything out.
