We started our runs with 36 and 33 this past weekend with very little problem except for one turn where I always kept turning the wheel too much. We want the rear to come around a bit and the higher the pressure in my understanding the quicker that will happen as you don't have as much tread on the ground. Am I missing something? T.P. and suspension have always been my downfall. Put me in a car and I'll go faster than most others in it but the set up is not my strongest suit yet. That's why of course I figured I could build a sort a prepared car.


As for the front bar. Of course it does something. Adds weight to an already heavy front end!!!

Ben,
Okay, are you running AWD now or just rear wheel. The higher front pressure will reduce the amount of understeer. A larger rear bar will help the back end come around faster, as will stiffer rear springs and/or shocks.
