Need some input on suspension

Lee told me that the rebound damping at full soft was set up for the stock springs and the full stiff setting had twice as much damping. He said 0-.5 turns for stock springs. He also said that they tried a bunch of different springs and NONE of them needed the full stiff setting. You want to run as little rebound damping as possible and still keep the body under control.

What I noticed is that I had to give the car more input to get it to start rotating then I had to give it a correction mid corner otherwise it would turn too sharp. It wasn't slipping like oversteer, it was just taking that long for the weight to fully transfer to the outside tires. It would have been terrible on a slalom. Now it's much more responsive and I'm not having to give it as much input and it doesn't need that mid corner correction.
