I decided to increase the rear spring to 16k. This makes my current set-up 18k front 16k rear with the hotchkiss bar up front and no bar out back. I feel like my driving has gotten to the point of where I can handle a little oversteer on entry. Justin was nice enough to gift me a g37 rear bar so I will try that if I still need more rotation.

I have yet to encounter any ice mode issues but it's good knowing that we may have found one solution depending on the cause.

It is so fun being able to actually fix issues as oppose to drive around them in street class. Even if the car isnt capable of winning (which I think it is) it's much more enjoyable than it was in bs by a long shot.
Rusty and Hotrodz like this.

Just to be clear, the issue we're fighting is NOT ice mode (hard pedal but little to no actual braking). The issue is that ABS gets confused and just quits working leading to lockups.
