However, this was a practice run on road legal tires.
I told...

Here's a video of an autocross on 12k/10k springs and KW competition coil overs (they have stiffer dampers, less dust protection than the clubsports and have an aluminum instead of a stainless-steel...

We have, for instance, fast third gear transitions where the whole width of an air strip would be used (left right left right left). Without a bigger front sway bar there's significant oversteer...

Less oversteer (but more understeer). (Too much oversteer is slowing you down. On the other hand oversteer is usually an advantage in slow and tight turns. But then again if it's too stiff in the...

What's a typical alignment setting in STX?
Also, by how much are the cars typically lowered?
Assuming KW v3 coilovers what sway bars are you guys running it with?

Wasn't there a female rally driver who was missing oversteer driving your car? Was this just an outlier or have you changed the set-up since?

A while back it was unclear whether a 245 or a 255 wide tire would be advantageous in the STX-class. Has this riddle meanwhile been solved or is there no answer (the answer is track and weather...

I have meanwhile driven this car at an unofficial Slalom event which resembled more an US Autocross and there I actually dealt with more understeer than oversteer. Especially in Sweepers and fast...
