T3 12 basically I have a setup that in the 3rd heat after a few 12ths have put some grip down my car is perfect, any suggestions on a to begin with tweak?
I run a near kit setup with 1.6deck 2k diff 450 shock and 2.8 front springs.
This seems to happen on a permanent prima gt and a temporary green prima
The 2mm top deck gives a bit less turn in

What is the difference in handling when the grip is lower?

Loose on hairpins so car stops, as grip comes up I can carry more cornerspeed difference last night was 25 in the first heat - 28 laps in the last. Obviously you learn the track but car feels so much easier by the 3rd heat.
Still a couple of months off a T4 14 so trying to keep it up there in the top 2/3 till then

Sounds fairly normal for indoor club racing. Assuming its FTQ qualifying then the last round will always be the one that counts. No point setting the car up for when the track is at its slowest...

I know it's just slight tweaks I'm looking for. I generally don't use additive on the front to start with, lessen the steering travel to what I can get away with and increase both as grip improves.

When you say more droop do you mean more on the gauge (less uptravel) or more wishbone droop (more uptravel)?
