Setting up for auto X help

I have a front and rear sway bar. I'm thinking the front is softest setting and the rear (which is now in the middle) should be stiffest. the car is understeering now.

For those with PSS9s what setting do you use?

I have a BBK so I have to use 17s. I am thinking another set of 17s light with Hoosiers mounted......what size and other pertinent data?

You are correct that a soft front bar and stiff rear bar will give you the maximum amount of overstear.

Good for autocross, but may be handfull in the wet.

sounds like you are out of the "stock" class, so consider also dialing in a bit of front neg. camber. I don't believe your front bar has to be full soft, but at least softer than your rear bar. Also check your rear toe settings, closer to zero toe in rear will give you more oversteer, or rotation.
