Maybe I need to loosen the front sway bar a bit

Ha! Thats great.

Man, it looks like your running a staggered offset on that rear wheel. I'm, assuming your not but DAYUM that rear tire looks big in that pic.

hm...i think what you may need too is a stiffer rear sway bar. it will swing out your rear more too.

Cobb sway bars on full stiff both front and back. Deteriorating asphalt surface with well used 275/35/18 RA-1's all around.

I looped the car my first run. It was awesome.

Just a little spin.

^^ Nice run! How are you protecting your front end from those merciless cones?

3 wheel motion is easy to do on the rear wheels. My first autocross, car is completely stock:

Um, I'm not. My nose is already all jacked up from when we had an ice storm and they sanded the roads, so I just don't care any more. Heck, the lower part of my car is completely messed up between cones, a curb at work (scratched the bumper and cracked the side skirt), that sanded road day and all the rocks that are thrown at the car. My hood has huge chips taken out of it.

Luckily it's just a car!
