Suspension Tuning Setup Advice Needed..., went from a swinger to a plow... Options

[cha914]

Ok, did the first autox with the new suspension on sunday, and I wasn't overly impressed with the results, but since I changed almost everything, I cant realy expect to have it right the first time.

So here goes, the car had very sluggish turn-in responce, and wanted to plow through every corner. I really couldn't even get it to rotate under trail braking. Here is the setup:

Koni Yellows all around
Poly bushings all around
Fully adj rear perches w/175lb springs
22mm solid torsion bars
22mm weltmeister front bar set full soft

Ride height = 4.75 up front and ~5.25 rear (measured to the donuts)
Camber = -1.5 up front -2 rear
Toe = 1/16th toe OUT up front and 1/16th toe IN rear

With the Koni's set to full hard the car seemed to improve a little, but not much. Also, the course was on a fairly slick parking lot, and I am running 2year old pirelli tires (205/50/15s with plenty of tread, just hard).

Finally, I want this car setup mostly for track driving, so I know autox performance is going to suffer some, but it seemed pretty poor overall yesterday (it was definately more fun with the ass up in the air sliding everywhere (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) now I want it to be fast)

Any suggestions on where to go from here, or what to try in the future (I know I need better tires).

To add insult to injury, you really need two sets of tires to run autocross and open track. The hot autocross tires would probably only last about half a lap before they were too greasy to use on a road course, and the road race tires will not come to you before 1/2-3/4 of an autocross run depending on how fast the course is.

(that's me with my back to the camera behind the 510 on road race compound Hoosiers, they worked good after spinning on the front straight.................too bad they didn't snap any photos of that...........)
