I'm an experienced autocrosser, but am trying to figure out the best approach for solving a couple of issues. The lot we're currently running in is pretty uneven with lots of dips and a few significant bumps. I'm currently running on a stock PASM suspension with Hoosier A7s and find that in Sport mode, the PSM kicks in at least a few times per run. However, this isn't happening because I'm overcooking it or the car trying to break loose. When the car hits an uneven portion of the pavement or a bump, it's sapping a lot of the power to compensate for the minuscule loss of traction. There are a fair number of obstacles in the lot. Even though I know the car well and am confident in my abilities, it's not worth taking the risk to turn off PSM.
My understanding is Sport + has a higher threshold when it comes to engaging PSM from a loss of traction? Since I don't have Sport Chrono/Sport +, is there anything short of turning off the PSM button to counteract this (e.g. suspension mods, turning off the PASM, etc...)? I plan to add the X73 rear sway bar to help bring around the back end and reduce a bit of understeer. Would this exacerbate or help the PSM problem?
I appreciate any insights or previous experience with the same problem.
