We had a test and tune, I got pretty consistent and found that on the stiffest setting I was fastest. Your stiffer springs will probably have a different result

Yah same here. long sweepers sucks because i can't put my foot down, 80-90% throttle at most before the tail swings out, and thats with front damper on full hard and rear on full soft. hope the swaybar will help me out when it gets here.

So then Gents, what are your recommendations?

If I already reached my limits with the current setup (tires, coilovers, alignment) what else I can do to make my car hold more speeds at a corner??

My average speed per lap is 110 kph, I just want to improve it a little

It will tremendously. And all the negative camber you can get

wider tires, perhaps wide body

in all seriousness, i think you can get a better lap time without significant adjustments. if you are oversteering, stiffen up the front however you can, whether its springs/coils, tire pressure or sway bar. if you are understeering, stiffen up rear or soften the front. but just to get a better lap time with what you have, you could always work on your lines and braking/throttle timing. just my $.02

Tires is the easiest way to go faster. Try switching to 225/45; those 245/45 are slowing you down by being too tall and too heavy. Obviously a stickier tire would help as well.

Unless you are a winning pro driver, the best way to go faster is to get some pro coaching .
