The car was loose on the exit and is stable everywhere else. But after driving yesterday I've decided to keep the setup. I'm just a little smoother with my throttle inputs and eliminate it getting loose. Thanks for the setup...Car handles like a dream!!!

Why doesn't anyone use rideheight as a tuning aid? I would think lowering the rear of the car would put the power down on corner exit and would hurt any of the other setttings...

lowering the car 1 or 2 turns on the KW's isnt going to make your alignment all screwy. It actually has very little affect on the alignment from what i've seen on my car.

This is why people usually do not play around frequently with ride height after it is set. Corner weighting is not cheap so it is usually set and forget.

Try softening the rear rebound to 6 clicks (from full stiff). It's not that hard to adjust. Feel it out, you can always change it back.

When the car goes through its range of motion during driving it's also going to change camber and toe so whats the difference? Change the car to make it feel better...
Besides, I only corner weight the car to get it close, I still make changes to the ride height based on track surface temp, tire temp, and what the car is doing.

I am pretty lazy and just generally fine tune with coilover, swaybar, aero and tire pressure adjustments. Anything else I just adjust driving style to compensate for changes (tire wear, track temps, wet/dry etc).
