imo it sounds like you have a mechanical problem that the aero is bandaiding then. the car should be well balanced without any aero too.

Yeah I just need some time to test I want to stiffen up the front sway bar a bit... It's not as bad as I'm probably making it sound but it definitely has more front grip than rear. If I had to chose between oversteer and understeer i'd take oversteer anyday. Everytime I go out it's a little more balanced but I don't have time or money to test this is my first time on track since the last rta event and since then I have doubled my front spring rates, added 80% spring in the rear, changed the front sway bar, added a wing, and built a flat bottom/diffuser. I wouldn't expect to get all that right in one shot.

I am making progress though I was 8 seconds behind Cobb at the last event now I'm probably just as fast if 4th didn't go.
