Boing Boing Boing... ask Alex (Sharky) he will tell you all about JIC

Stevo, help your compatriot, Neil A, out. He needs your expertise.

BTW, the chief Instructor of my local Porsche Club hails from Scotland. Nice guy.

Larry i just feel that the JIC's give a real bouncy ride and cause the back end to skip on our roads over here. Not sure if a switch to softer springs may help, im meeting up with Stevo next week to try a few things out with settings hopefully.

Sounds like we had opposite problems. My car was bouncing on track from too soft springs, and yours sounds like it's bouncing from too stiff springs. Good luck sorting it out. Stevo seems to have his car pretty well sorted out. Hope between you two, you can figure out the solution. Good luck.

Congrats, great to hear, focused on tires and safety for my TT track use, but will probably bit the suspension bullet down the road, appreciate the writeup.
