Default TAIL Happy - is there such thing as too stiff ?

hey guys,

after installing my coilovers a few weeks ago, i was in Perth for 2 days this week away from work and luckily it was wet so i could finally test the handling out at the skid pan.
i thought id give it abit on corners and round abouts to see how well she would hold.

with the new suspension setup and tyres.... the tail just wanted to kick out if i yanked a tad too hard...

whats everyones opinion on this...is my setup too stiff...is there such thing as too stiff i always thought stiffer the better ?

im running -

whiteline strut brace
adjustable whiteline sways all round
whiteline bushes all thru (chassis is tight)
anti lift kit
BC racing inverted damper coilovers with the 30 way adj....

i have been playing with the 30 way dampening 0 being hardest and 30 being softest.... i had them on 0 and she was brilliant for handling but i could feel every ant on the road

now i have them back at factory 8 they came shipped as. which is a little nicer to drive and handling as well.

has anyone got any recommendations on the settings ?

im wondering if its because i have brand new falkens tyres on there maybe they need to wear a little bit first for that extra traction...im not sure.

cheers
