Just to be clear, I'm not criticizing you or your write-up -- it's great that you're contributing to the forum. I'm just saying that it's not yet in a sticky-worthy state.

I disagree with the tire pressure recommendations, too. If you have the pressures set correctly to begin with, then either increasing or decreasing pressure will reduce grip.

Understeer vs. Oversteer for dummies:
When you hit the wall with the front of your car that's understeer, when you hit the wall with the rear of the car that's oversteer.
