Unless something slipped out of adjustment, my toe should be fine as I already got the car aligned. I meant to say I recall setting the rear shocks softer, I had my best lap of the day with the car like that. THe drawback was that the car was very hard to drive, especially under braking.

I'd put most of your handling ills with rear spring rate that is too high front that might not be high enough and toe that is off a bit.

And while you saw marginal improvement with a6 in Autocross if you optimized coilover setup for A6 (-3.5 front and -2.5 rear ) with neutral rear toe and slight toe out up front suspect you'd see couple second improvement on Laguna Seca.
