That's my biggest reason for not wanting to campaign the car anymore. I could never figure it out. Sometimes I'd just be trail-braking in and... wham... the front tires lock up and I just flat spotted the crap out of them. That was just so frustrating... and expensive.
I dont think this problem was very common with stock suspension... however, the stiffer the rates... the worse it seemed to be. This cars brakes killed my confidence.
You mean the brakes are excellent and the STR [strike]tires[/strike] class arent suitable for the weight of the car.
