Finally ran some time-only runs yesterday at the CalClub autox at Anahiem Stadium. After 6 runs I settled on 44 front and 30 rear. The car felt balanced in the medium (40 mph +) to high speed autox corners but still pushed a lot int he low speed turns. I think I was just coming into them too fast. Three years of racing a Street Prepared 240Z gives you bad habits for front-wheel drive.
Another black SVT was there (exactly 12 days new) and the owner was experimenting with pressures from 55 to 50 front and from 15 to 20 rear. He ran .8 faster than me but he's been renting and racing Contours of various types for a couple years.
I think I'll go down another 5 on the rear if I run the car again.
BTW... 2000 Contour SVT on the stock BFG gforce KDWs.
