I think you missed the point. It is not compressing that is your problem. It is the speed with which the shock comes back out when that side is unloaded that I think is your problem.
When you enter the first section of the chicane, right hand turn the weight moves towards the left side of the car. I.e. left rear is compressed. While this happens slowly due to the thick damping, at this point the car is not changing direction too fast not to be able to cope. Now you switch left for the second part of the chicane. Right rear is compressed and the thick damping slows this ensuring the right rear keeps traction. BUT the left rear tyre now unloads and the left rear suspension should be moving down. However it doesn't do this quickly enough because you damping is very thick (or springs too soft in relation) and as a result the left rear looses traction. Now switch right again and the problem is increased further as now the right rear looses traction too.[/code]
