@CSG Mike I have a question on how my car handles. The setup is as follows:

- WedsSport TC105N 17x8 +42 with BFGoodrich Rivals 225/45/17 (32psi pressure cold)
- KW Clubsport set as follows:
Front: Compression 7 clicks out - Rebound 9 clicks out
Rear : Compression 7 clicks out - Rebound 9 clicks out
Ride height (not sure how to measure this but I set it about 1.5" higher than KW recommends measuring from hub center to fender, was too low at the recommended 12.6")
- Whiteline endlinks front, Perrin endlinks rear
- Car is corner weighed for 50% cross weight
- Alignment is:
Front camber -2.5 with 0 toe
Rear camber -2.0 with +0.03 toe in on each side

The car is significantly lighter in the rear because of wheel, tools, and stock muffler removal (running Tomei 60s catback). The car exhibits corner entry push, in the middle of the corner it grips, and on throttle application for corner exit the rear end breaks loose.

I don't necessarily dislike the way it handles, but I want to decrease the corner entry push, prolong the mid corner grip and decrease the quickness the rear end breaks loose on exit. So just if this visual helps, currently I have this:

Entry Mid Exit
UUUUUUUUGGGGGOOOOOOOOO

This is what I want:

Entry Mid Exit
UUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOO

U is understeer, G is grip, O is oversteer
