It sucked big time trying to drive it.
Rene, i'll pay for your track day help me sort this thing out, i don't have the talent.
Just want it safe.
cvederal,

Bring the adjustment tool to the GIR track day. It's the perfect chance to dial in your suspension.

Yes it did help. Traqmate showed +1.7 on fastest lap till i spun it. Thanks again for you help. I have a lot to learn though, how to set the kw's up. I was much more comfortable and faster on stock shocks.

you were too stiff I think. If the stockies felt better, you needed to soften up the suspension. Sebring has lots of "personality" IE bumps. Because I was slip sliding away on my first session I softened my rears which helped alot. I have my compression locked at 50% on all four corners, I only adjust the rebound.

Let me drive your car at GIR, and we can go from there. Keep in mind though that Coilovers are meant to change settings. So there will be different settigns for different tracks on different days. We will use the GIR settings as a baseline.
