As for the erratic/unpredictable behavior, it's hard to tell how much of that is car versus you. However, looking at the specs for your springs, I think they are part of your problem. Especially if you're still on the factory dampers. For autocross, those springs drop the car too far. The fast guys are only dropping 20mmF/15mmR. Check to see how much you're hitting the bumpstops. Whacking bump stops will make most any car a handful, and kind of invalidates any tire pressure recommendations, or thoughts about spring rate suitability.
Yeahh I was fully aware when I bought the springs that they wouldn't do me any favors when it came to AutoX but they make the car look gorgeous so the 345 days of the year that I'm NOT at AutoX it looks perfecttttt.
My main reason for asking is to see how low you guys run, and so far it seems like not very low. I was assuming guys would be running 22-25psi but it seems you're all only dropping down in the 30-32 range.
