Pulling into a driveway slowly, like 1mph, it felt like one of my rear wheels lifted off the ground. I remember reading about something like this awhile ago...

Probably did. Stiff sway bar with stiff springs. Race cars don't traverse uneven surfaces well. I've almost gotten stuck like that a few times. Really nothing you can do short of returning one or more parts to stock. Maybe set your sway bar to a lighter setting if you can

Ok, so it's a symptom of my modifications. I just didn't want to have something that I could change keep being a problem. I have the mildly stiffer Perrin sways set at the softest setting. I got to work, and did my first doughnut in years to get a feel of how easy it breaks loose. (I'm the first one to get to work, and my parking lot is private property) @Sapphireho Yes, I have experienced that too, pulling out of the same driveway. ( the CFN station where I get Clear premium, and pump my own gas! LOL )

I have no problem keeping wheels on the ground with my stock suspension.

I wanted to be more on the edge of my comfort zone... I miss how my S2000 drove. It was harder to drive near its limit. I feel that i've accomplished making my car harder to drive fast (more technical to drive) whatever, im happy.
I havent played with dampening much yet... @Ashikabi How many clicks from hard (or soft) are you running your FA 500s for DD?

Thanks! I tried several different combinations of dampening front and rear, keeping the rear softer like you suggested. I'm at 1 click from full soft on the rear and 7 clicks from full soft on the front. I was halfway, 12 clicks on the front, but kept gradually adjusting it one back till 7. This morning in the dark I pulled over at my rural fire station for a pic. There used to be "no parking" signs on every door... Guess when they painted the building red, they took them off... It used to be blue. via Imgflip Meme Generator

Made an appointment for new windshield tomorrow. $280 for everything, not too bad.
