I then threw the 36's back on and 0.5-0.8 seconds a lap slower and well off the pace with a car that's horrible to drive to boot, just no rear grip, horrible turn in and push everywhere.

now I have slept on it I have made some changes for the event in 2 weeks that I think will help, just wanted a second and 3rd opinion as I am still terrible at setting up cars after all these years (ill admit it)

Setup from the 32's attached.

I am only racing now for fun but this is seriously doing my head in.... and making it not fun
I'd go Softer on the Springs too, possibly run a Harder Spring on the Front than the Rear!
I'd also look at going to 3 Degree Rear Toe as well!
