Also run Hoosiers for lapping. Question: with rear sway adjusted in middle hole I am neutral with low rear tire pressure, ie 33ish lbs. I want to go up to 35ish to save tire shoulders but this brings in some oversteer, which is fun but not optimal.

To correct for oversteer which way do you move your rear sway adjustment/attachment bolts? Out toward wheels or in toward diff?

Thanks

Out toward the wheels will buy you a little less oversteer, at least it did on my C5.

you need to make the rear bar softer.

If you are running the Hoosier A6/R6 your pressures are too high, try no more than 32 psi. Also, how much toe-in do you have in the rear?

You're correct, rear toe in could be an issue, I haven't had a real track alignment and need to do that.

Thought I'd experiment with rear sway settings too though as is.

I spent a lot of money trying different sway bar combinations/settings only to find that the real magic in finding the correct balance was 1/16-1/8" of toe-in in the rear.

I see you have a C6 so not sure of the direct comparability to my C5. but I run stock Z06 sway bar, C6 Z06 Shocks and 1/16th toe front and back and 1.125 camber in the rear and 1.5 camber in the front. I think it is easier to play with tire pressure after you have a good alignment. The first place I took my car when I bought it was to the alignment shop and the rear was towed out on the right and in on the left and so it handled a little wierd. Get an agressive alignment first and then play with the other settings.

I still say that you should learn how to do at least toe settings yourself so that you can try various settings to see what you like. It is not that hard to do. The tires have to be pointed in the correct direction and at the correct pressures before you mess with roll stiffness.

Agreed. Start with the small, easy and IMPORTANT things first. Incorrect pressures are huge, but easy!
