No idea what rate are your BRM sways, etc but the car seems rather twitchy even under partial throttle which is real bad. There is absolutely nothing "sketchy" about S3s even if they are worn pretty good so I'd guess it is your set up and not the tires that lost you traction. Kinda what I was trying to suggest in the other post commenting about possible changes in the car's balance when you start throwing after market mods on without really understanding what it is you're trying to "fix". NB Sean "The Rocket" had the same comments BTW.

So now the "fun" starts
Assuming you're skilled enough to *properly* describe how the car feels and what's it doing well vs not, your shop might be able to tweak your set up and help you. If not, prepare to chase your proverbial tail trying to regain the excellent stock balance this car comes with right from a factory.
Versus just learning the car and exploring its (very) high limits. Best of luck!

What is your definition of "worn pretty good" it looked like about 3/32" tread on the fronts outer tread when i started the day.

If you don't see cords they are still good and very capable. Tread is there for water evacuation purposes not traction. Cheers!

Ok well is there any feedback you can give me on my actual driving inputs, and possibly the points where you felt like the car seemed "twitchy"? Also I might add, I started the first session (where I had my best lap time) at 30 psi, then after the first session was at 37 psi, let out down to 35 psi, then after the 2nd session was up to 40 psi, let out down to 35 psi, after the 3rd session (this session) it was right around 37 and I left it there because of the lunch break. Then after the 4th session it was around 35 and the 5th session around 37 again.

[TrackClub]

I haven't been able to get stock tires to 40 even throwing the car around quite a bit so there might be your answer. I've also hijacked sufficient number of threads not to do it here again. If you'd like to chat, PM me please. Cheers!

Is this thread still being updated?

Car has OEM Wheels / Tires, track setup, BMR upper and lower control arms, BMR lower trailing arms, BMR sway bars / end links, BMR front of rear cradle brace, BMR lockout cradle bushing.

Tires were pretty sketchy so I ran it in sport 1. Definitely still learning, feedback is appreciated.

On the Board.
