Default Just had an auto-x with the new sway bar (19mm)....

and big brakes and Hyperboost DV. I have to say the sway bar makes the biggest difference. FInally my car stops pushing like a pig. I can actually invoke a little oversteer -the car rotates. What a cool new feeling! I will have to learn to drive a little a differently now. It made a course that I cringed just looking at (because of all the tight turns) actually fun.
The DV has sharpened the throttle a bit and makes acceleration more immediate. Still not up to what I would like though (chip is next...). The brakes are great too... I was just so entranced by the effects of the sway bar that I didn't even really notice them.
Oh and good to meet you fellow TT auto-xer Ali (congrats on your time again)

Sway bar does transform the handling - ESP turned off, right?

Default I started with 40PSI all around >>

as the tires heated up I bled some air out...I let it stay around 42 PSI all around (hot). I bled more out of the fronts which were working more than the rears and hence heating up a little more. I was running Falken Azenis.

Yes! ESP is pretty annoying otherwise-cutting power and generally being a pain
