In the front if you want more initial turn in go with fewer washers, but for more exit steering add one. Typically adjusting the rear washer height is a little more sensitive of an adjustment than the the front.

Also I would bet that you car feels so twitchy because your springs are too stiff front and rear. Try at least going to one stage softer with 30wt fr and 27wt rear with #2 pistons in front and #3 piston in the rear with standard limiters. You shouldn't have any chassis slap unless you are either flat landing, or unevenly landing on the downside.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought if you lower your roll center(adding washers) you will rotate/slide easier. (i am talking about the rear). The reason I say this is when the 3-4page debate about roll center a few weeks back on here was being talked about. I was having a traction roll issue with one washer in the rear, when I went to 2 washers I was no longer traction rolling and the car could be thrown into corners easier. Talking to locals at the track some said they are running 3-4 washers allowing more rotation. Unless i'm not understanding the meaning of rotation?
