Greg, at that point in time I was more than willing to pull the trigger on the "better" suspension package. Thing is better for a person who knows how to tune it isn't better for a hack like me (or Dan, no offense) who is just learning this stuff.

Dan, call Koni and speak with them about what's going on and get their advice. Also contact Matt and hire him to do a test and tune day. Get it close then focus on your driving. Not at all saying shouldn't learn how to tune the car, but guarantee that the car is plenty capable of going faster as-is.
