spinning the schlicks ..., ... Options

ok, just got back from the AX in alameda. great event, great (fast and loooong) course.

andrew blyholder smoked the whole competition (again), i don't think anyone came even close.
my last minute suspension tweak worked out better than expected, car turned in nice.

but, of course, now i'm having a new problem ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

every time i unload the driver side (left hand turns), that rear wheel just spins. like tire smoking spinning. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif)
even in 3rd gear. even in not so tight corners. slight unload and up go the RPM but i'm not moving any faster.
obviously, i'm loosing quite some time there.

remeber that i'm running the 9" good year schlicks. my 2.0L should *not* be able to spin those at will in 3rd gear.

now what?

PS: grant was hauling a$$ out there with his stock 1.8L ! he was only 0.5 sec slower than me! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
and only until the very last run of the day did i finally beat him ...
way to go grant! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

once you get it dialed in, you will be SCARY.

the 180 progressives start out as 140lbs (measured them friday at HPH). but then i remembered a trick from my old dirt bike days (anyone remember Hondas Pro-Link progressive setup?).
we used to run the springs upside-down on the dirt bike which made them harder, did the same on my car friday and it worked.
they feel stiffer now (closer to 180 i guess) and the understeer was almost gone.

i guess i could just run the threaded colars and 225lbs springs on my bilsteins ...
