Don't mess with the front bar at all yet as the car is too soft overall. I can understand messing with shock adjustments, but IMO shocks are fine tuning dynamics and what I see is a car that needs some static updates. People were always surprised at how much wheel rate I had in my car but it just kept going faster and faster the stiffer I made it  I had some pretty big ARBs as well.
I intend to start my Nova project out at pretty high wheel rates based on what I learned tracking my last car and iterating the suspension over a 7 year period.

The car has been to 4 events now and at each one it has had different spring rates, different bars, different tires and even different shocks on the last go round (thanks to Ridetech). The car is very heavy in the ass end. From memory it is 250 lbs heavier on the back axle than on the front. It has been a learning experience for sure but it has improved greatly since the So Cal Challenge on Labor Day.
