Fixed, There is a "Super-V" FE4 Shock specification.. From what I hear it was not very common, but carries a factory part number. and yes if I was doing some stock class road racing that's the way I'd go. But For $1400 It's too pricey. But they are just shocks,, I could build adapters to fit any of the bazillion Eye to pin shocks available, I think QA-1 even offers a kit to do it.
oh not a kit just adaptors.. but here, easy peasy Japanesey

You need to go back to stock springs because, IMO, it's going to make your car handle better. But, then you need to accept that you're still new to autocross, and it will take a little time to learn the skillset. You're not going to win just because you're in a fast car, no matter how well it handles.

even if i go back to stock springs, I think the Hotchkis sway-bars may still help me a bit.

I'll just add that I welcome people to come out to Z-hills on Set Up day.
I'll let you pick the cross over point if you are willing to do the set up work.
Not to defend a site with less than optimal pavement, but we have used that particular cross-over point before, and you had to stick close to the cones to get the smoothest pavement. It only got worse if you let the car drift out. See sticking tight to the cones has all kinds of advantages.

I love your sig Spin Out.
I know a GM owner who has the same kinds of complaints for the GM Divisions choice of rear springs for the past whatever years. They don't seem to get that performance means you give up comfort.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
