Ok JP, what's the speed formula? How do you get that back-end to stick like that? (Jump in Brad, any time.)

My front end is planted solid, but I can't keep the back-end under me. Above 15mph its loose under all conditions. Went to autocross school last week & had a blast, but instructors both said car would be faster if not so loose & I agree. Hard to get close to the limit in slalom without doing tank-slappers. Trail-braking at high speed feels like the back isn't even on the ground. Do I need to move to a bigger front bar (Tarret)?

Suggestions appreciated.

Here's my setup: (engine is still just a 1.7)

Front:
Koni Yellows (911 valved)
19mm front bar - full hard
21mm torsion bars
'A' calipers on vented rotors
225/50 on 7x16 (street rubber: Dunlop SP8000)
-1.5 camber, 6 caster, 0 toe

Rear:
Bilsteins
180# springs
no bar (of course)
'A' calipers on vented rotors
245/45 on 8x16 (street rubber: Dunlop SP8000)
-1.75 camber, slight toe-in (forget exact amt.)

Will try to have race rubber and Mueller-bearings next year.
