I've heard people on both sides of the fence.

235/255 is the Boxster Spec setup. It works.

Some guys like a heavier bar up front but when I did it in 2009, understeer got worse and my times went up instead of down. My brother added a rear M030 and proceeded to win 3 regional championships. I think it really depends on tires and setup. A car with PSS9s, lots of front rake running A6s 285 square will need a lot more front bar. For a stock car with stock struts, relieving understeer with a rear bar allows you to add gas sooner and this is a good thing. Choose wisely.

The instructors couldnt beat your time, and this is your first season? Either you are a prodigy who will soon be a pro racer, or the instructors in your area suck. In my area, most of the instructors are the fastest drivers.

I would try the M030 rear bar and maxing out the front camber, it'll definitely help with rotation. The alignment specs Topless mentioned are pretty much spot on and will make a day and night difference.

My first "full season" I've been Autocrossing on and off for 10 years normally just doing 0-3 events per year
