Ended up running 39-40psi front and 33-34psi rear, with Koni's at ~75% front and ~80% rear. Took the trophy in BS on Saturday, but lost in the Sunday semi's of the club shootout. The tires were fantastic all weekend. Lots of grip, good audible feedback, and heat up quick even running first in the mornings (more than my R-S3's did). However, by the 5th shootout run, which were only about 3 minutes apart, they were greased. I ended up with a DNF coming out of a 180 sweeper into a slalom....front end pushed and hit the first pointer while holding the same line as previous runs.
YES!!! I'm not the ONLY one with similar setup!!!! Do you have any videos of your runs?

I am on 275/35-19 re71R and run EXACT same pressure 39F and 34R cold. I have rear 8/10 stiff and front about 5/6 stiff (and looks like I should bump it up half a turn maybe?). Everyone tells me to do otherwise (super soft rear and stiff front and honestly, I didn't like it at all.)

Question, do you have any trouble getting grip in super super smooth asphalt venues? I'm experiencing a little under-steer or lack of front end grip with this setup in just ONE of my three venues? other two venues I'm fine. This venue has a slippery super smooth newly sealed asphalt. In this venue, would you soften the front koni a bit or stiffen even more to 80-85%?
