Jme i think they are dunlop M compound the ones that Dean herrige used for targa this year...
We got the tyre pressures down to 35 all round but that did not seem to help at all, car still felt the same which to me suggests that the tyres werent warm enough..
At collie i was running the orignal tyre pressures and was punting the car much much faster through the corners and exit and it did not want to step out on me... Thats why i am confused and suggests that it cant be the suspension setup but the tyres??
I did change the trailing arm but i doubt that would have had any impact on the rear end??

Do all 3 and you end up in the dirt..
If your suspension was suspect it would be more obvious bthrough the tight stuff at the top of the track where you are shifting the weight of the car around.
My 2c..

Burke the car was feeling squimish all around the track 3rd corner 2nd gear then 3rd round that sweeping bend for example the rear end was kicking out but i was able to control that as i was already right into the gear... On that pic i actually had the rear wheel hit the grass as i was exiting the corner hence i spun round with some bite and speed.. haha
On that first corner most times i dont think i ever went in too hot and only feathered the power on...
The weird thing is i couldnt feel the rear pop out it just did which im annoyed about.. grrr
P.S i think i might organise an hr or two on the track and hoepfully some of you guys with alot of expirence can tag along and show us the ropes..
