Actually the front plants very well, the rear was a little dance happy with the new sway bar, a few clicks stiffer on the front shocks settled the rear down.  I was actually going to go softer on the rear shocks but my instructor suggested adjusting the front and leaving the rear alone.

What may work at one level of "aggression" on the course may or may not work as the thresholds are raised. As speeds increase, the car with start reacting differently. BTW, what tires are you racing on?

Street tires (Sumitomo HTR-III). 

The farther I get into this the more I realise it is more than:

mash the gas
slam on the brakes
turn
repeat as needed.

If Autocross was easy they would call it road racing! I was chatting with Ryan Tuerck, number 2 ranked Formula D drifter, he told me he didn't like autocross it was to hard  :rofl:
