Lets see a picture of yours in action
Here is mine at the last autocross event. Don't have a larger image unfortunatly. The car is drifting in the corner and you can see the rear tires working! Another is under hard braking, even with Eibach springs, the nose sure dives.
Ive heard a lot of autocrossers run higher than normal air pressure- after seeing the tread rolling under in that first pic, guessI see why- never realized sidewalls tucked that much...sure looks like fun- hope to find someplace doing that this summer locally...dragstrip was fun, but sliding around corners is better- the few chances Ive had to do it

Actually I am running stock pressure. I have run with higher pressures, but the car always feels like it is on marbles. I always ended up going back to stock pressure. Mind you, I am also running factory tires.
When I saw that picture, I was amazed at the tire flex.

At Tulsa Raceway Park
This is my one and only pass down the 1/8th mile dragstripe. Spun the tires all thru first gear and bogged it down in 2nd gear to a 9.5 sec pass. can't remember the trap speed. Probably gonna try some autoX soon!
I know it says pics but here's a vid.

She did win the 1 of 3 the one where I lit up at the top of 1st and roasted second, when second went up in smoke she went right by and no way to catch her at that point. But otherwise she was scared and left the TC on and stumbled the next run and ran good the 3rd run. My best pass of the day was in the coupe at 9.1 and 79 mph with a 2.15 60 ft.
