Yeah. No rear bar... I ended up dropping my tire pressures a little bit, but that seemed to cause me problems once things dried out a bit. It was a fairly cool weekend for Florida, low 70's, so I could never really get my tires up to pressure. I usually start out around 32f/34r and end up at like 37f/39r hot.

I didn't seem to be able to get my pressures up over 36 with the cold weather and having to watch my speeds due to how slick the track was.. It was really the first time that I've run the car in cooler/rainy weather since I've had the TcK suspension on the car so I felt all out of whack from how planted the car usually feels.

I have the stock 'ti rear bar installed, which is akin to a piece of linguine. I don't think that thing is stopping any swaying.

I got to run the car again last week at a Test & tune event, where I was hoping to get it dialed in (even had all the rear compartment trim out to adjust the rear shocks). It rained/poured the whole time. I couldn't get a decent enough grip to make any changes. That was the last event of the year too.. so I'm going to leave it 1/2 stiff in the rear, soft in the front (for winter comfort).

I did get to drive a Porsche GT3 RS at the Test n Tune event too. What a beast! Nothing like spinning a $160k car in the wet. Did a 720 and kept going.

If you hear anything from him, please share!
