Here's a link to a pic from this past weekend, 2005 Runoffs.
The car is in SM.

This was the first race with my new suspension setup so I was just trying to figure out how to drive the car.
The car used to have factory suspension w/a Perrin 24mm rear sway bar and it used to display corner entry understeer, but fairly neutral on corner exit.
With the current suspension, the car is the exact opposite. The car enters corners very neutral, but exhibits understeer at the corner apex and at exit. Maybe it's because the car carries so much more speed into the turns or that I can now get on the gas earlier. In any event, my driving needs to account for this.
My bro thinks that the roll rate has remained the same, just the center of gravity has been lowered. I think the roll rate has lessened.
In any event, I need to change my driving in order to get faster.
