This is why racers get confused

also if your on a low bite set up and your suspension is too soft and if you stiffen it you may see a increase in what you may call grip actual fact it is stability.
When I stiffen my car there is LESS stability but faster cornering speeds.
if you rise the roll center ie more shims under the toe blocks or less shims on the inside of the camber links or more shims on the outside of the camber links this has the effect of lessing the tractioon on low bite tracks but increase stabilty.
Again, my experience has been the exact opposite. I spent last year trying to tune my old car based on this logic, and I just got slower. Now, when I'm not quick enough thru corners- I raise the roll centre or run stiffer springs, works well so far.
