Car feels like it is plowing
Well across is coming up march in Miami. My car seems like it is nose diving now while plowing into the turn. I softened the front and stiffened the back still the problem is solved. I am running Tein Flex with Cusco U brace. Anyone would recommend anything?

What kind of tires are you running in front. Hard tires are very common cause of "plowing"...
Non-sticky tires require slower speeds to avoid understeer. Smaller tires require slower speeds to avoid understeer. Front sway bar too stiff requires slower sppeds to avoid understeer. Wet course requires slower speeds to avoid understeer. Etc., etc., etc.
But understeer is caused by exceeding the traction of your front tires, while your rear tires stay planted. If you want to stop pushing without changing equipment or setup, you need to slow down in turns.

My previous track time has been on asphalt. When I tried out AutoX a few months ago it's on concrete. Big difference between the 2 surfaces for me.
Slowing down corner entry speed was the biggest factor in reducing the understeer.
Backing off the adjustment Gendron bar helped too.
