In wet conditions, disconnecting the rear sway bar helps tremendously.

well, it didn't rain. So that was a good thing. However, my car felt COMPLETLEY different with my really old and worn out R-Compounds... and to be honest, i didn't like it. With the race rubber on it, the car felt so harsh and unforgiving. There was monstrous grip... then it would vanish in a plauge of understeer. Oh, and don't even think about trying to get the rearend to step out for a little rotation... nothing but plow, plow, plow... Then my tires just took a dump and started to come apart because they are just so old and worn out. Not sure if i want to buy some new 13" R-compounds or sell both sets of my rims, buy some 15" steelies and slap some Azenis on them... I'd rather have less grip at the limit but consistent and predictable handling than loads of grip that can and will vanish without notice. However, i bet that NEW R-Compounds would just be the ticket...
