you are going to re-start that thread again
Could the slow transitional response may be caused by the shocks rather than steady body roll? Just thinking out lound, I am sure I missing something here.

Not so much. The car still has to move from lean to lean. Also, I tend to run a fairly high slip angle on track, and that just seems to work better with a nice stiff suspension.

Nick, you went to softer springs because Summit main is pretty bumpy. And when the tires bump off the surface due to too stiff, you do lose a bit of traction.
And Summit only really has a couple of places of serious transition. 4 to 5 is a throw away anyway. So you have 7 to 8 and 8 to 9.

Maybe I should get a set of 1300/1500s. ...once you hit a certain point, what's another couple hundred pounds of spring?
