Currently using 2.6 kit shocks on rear and 2.8 on front. + Schumacher mini pins (1)  To increase grip on rear end and stop oversteer on exit, is it a good idea to go to softer springs?
(2) Is 2.2 too soft?
(3) Should the setup always use slightly harder in the front as in the standard setup, ie: Standard = rear 2.6, front 2.8....... going for softer shocks >>> rear = 2.4, front 2.6 / rear 2.2, front 2.4?
many thanks.

1) No, softer springs in will increas midcorner understeer. Have you tried the other things? 2) sorry, don't know much about polished wood, but 2.2 is very soft... 3) depends on the track. sometimes you have to use softer springs in the front. |

still confused...... won't it help with rear traction?? setup book says: Softer srpings = more traction in low grip conditions and more roll. Softer on front = more steering, especially mid corner and exit. Softer on rear = more side traction mid corner and forwar traction. |

you can and should try it. its only 2 minutes to change the springs. Nothing is better than your own experience. |

yes i will try that, i figured the car is rolling too much now at the front due to the softer springs and also the extra droop i had dialed from my previous setup. anyway, it's nice to have to work backwards from too much traction for a change
