We did 16 runs (yes, awesome). For the first 4, I let the PSI drift up from 35/35 to 37/40. Traction really dropped as the pressures climbed. I bled back down to 32/35 and that gave me my best time of the day. The rears were rolling to the indicator perfectly, the fronts were about halfway down the triangle...maybe from a couple plows.

The only suspension changes I have are front and rear sways and 15f/20r spacers. The improvement with the sways in slaloms is profound, while the spacers make a much more minor improvement but make the car feel more planted.

I agree...you can still make the car plow. But if you brake appropriately and trail brake to get good turn-in bite, the car rotates beautifully. It's a great feeling when the car follows your intended line.

I'll post up two hairpin videos...one with a bad plow and one with a perfect dive through the corner.
