My car's generally been terrible all season. This past weekend I ended up 68th out of about 100 in PAX. Last year I was typically in the upper 1/3.

Last year I ran Yoks in 225/45/17, stock front swaybar. The car generally worked well. The car had good balance, some roll, but once it caught, it stuck. You could trust it throwing it into any corner.

I changed to RT660's at just about everyone's recommendation locally that "they're the tire for the car" with low camber and all. Also added a 19mm Perrin front swaybar on stiff (+72% increase, about that of the Strano bar)... because well, that's usually a non-brainer from everywhere I read. I opted not to get with the Whiteline 20mm or anything larger thinking it would lead to understeer.

The car's pretty much terrible now. Understeers and you basically have to baby it through sweepers. I haven't even once almost lost the rear or even come close now. With transitions and slaloms, it doesn't just stick anymore and you can't trust it.

.... so, do you think it's the tires or FSB? Tires now have 170 runs on them, but they weren't much better even in their prime. It's been the whole season like that. I'd be very curious to try the Yoks and 19mm bar together.

I'm at a loss. Only think I can think of it setting the bar on soft and seeing if that helps, even with the well worn tires.
