Am I wrong in thinking PCA requires the hard factory spring rate in the GTC cars?
I've been wondering for a few years now if a change in the CR to allow whatever spring rate the driver wants/needs might be a big help with these cars. Not every driver is capable of using that much spring; most certainly not on some of our tracks here stateside.
Given the rather large difference in driver skill in the GTC classes, I even wonder if this might be a safety issue which could be easily addressed.
Just sayin...

The OP is in my class, so I am a bit hesitant to help too much ;-), but this very simple change will transform the car and get it to a more centered place from where it can be tuned. It will also be much easier on the tires.
Are you coming to Chuckwalla?
Cheers,
