Need some handeling advice from road course road race members?

[imcmantis]

Setup:
Integra type R: b18c bolt ons
Coilovers: Skunk2 pro s2 8kg front 8kg rear
Bushings:All new ball joints, control arm bushings, trailing arm every bushing is polyurethane almost..
Wheels rims: 16X7 OEM 98 spec type r rims on 205/45/16 potenza re760
Sway bars: 24mm type r sway bar front.... 23mm type r sway bar rear
Subframe: Blackworks lca and subframe and blox adjustable endlinks.

To make this simple... my problem is before when I was running stock suspension my teggy while cornering would feel perfect, the front felt loose and was moving on a pivot felt like the rear was squatting and i could just point to where I want to go, main thing is i can control my car very well with this setup as i felt the rear was being planted softly and it felt like a RWD... just perfect!

Now this new setup when I take corner, my front feels fine but my rear doesnt squat down at all and it feels way too stiff like its giving me a weird feeling body roll mid corner exit the rear won't squat down and grip like a mofo like my stock setup, it feels overly to stiff or something. Now...... the problem I think can come from two things my rear spring rate is too high and its not dampening correct but I see people running 14k rear spring rates!!! And the other thing is my LCA comes with 3 holes soft, medium, hard. I messed up real bad the middle threads for neutral handelling, and was forced to use ethier soft or hard so i choose hard. And adjusted the endlinks to fit. Went on good.

Ok i get it now.... its like when you acelerate to a high RPM it forces the rear to squat down giving you traction to control the over and understeer and makes turning feel like butter, I no longer have that ability....

What should I do different?

Btw tire pressures are 33front cold 31rear cold.
36hot front 33-34hot rear
I tired messing with tire pressures no difference. I want the squatting feeling to come back

I think you just need to get used to the new suspension, I think setup changes should be made by softening the sway bar, and then just adapting.

This is why i advise people to not do a bunch of mods to their car after one track day. They dont know what mod caused this or that to happen.

Personally, i would just learn how to adapt to the suspension.

Ok I think your right I will try to soften the endlink settings. It's weird because I been in a 18k front. 14k rear dc2 and it felt like my old setup just way way way stiffer but it squatted. Turned on an axis

i dont necessarily think you want the car to squat...thats why drag cars have heavy springs in the rear and super/hyper cars have anti squat. You want the car to stay level.

Also, those trailing arm bushings you have suck balls. I have them currently and they cause all types of issues. Especially snap oversteer over any slight bump at speed. I recommend you get some rubber ones int here. Either Hardrace, OEM or Mugen. That bushing you have makes the ass end feel very strange.

Also, make sure you have the preload on the sway bar and coilovers set properly. Improper set ups cause issues. What tracks do you run on? If you are in SoCal I would hit up West End alignment. That guy is a genius and can set it up flawlessly for you.
