Also how low did you go and did you do any roll center correction?

I got some used Bilstein Clubsports and they are great, appart from the spring groan when low speed steering.
What I found was that this setup would accentuate poor braking form on my part. When I would get sloppy with the pedal the car would get nervous like you saw too. Poor form on my part would typically be too hard of an initial press which I started out doing quite often. I left foot brake and when I also use my left leg to keep me stable in the stock seat with the 3pt I can tend to get too hard on the brakes when I bring my foot back over. This setup seemed to be less forgiving with that error giving me a bit of the wiggle. Wasn’t unstable though but yeah something would rather not have. Focusing on my form definitely would clear that up - not a bad thing to help reinforce better habits with me but also would prefer a bit more leeway there too.

Have not done any roll center correction to this point. So far all we are working on is the nitron setup - I want to get this kit as dialed in as possible before making any other changes.
