Long story of my experience so far.

Right now I'm leaning toward stock brakes or possibly putting the C5 brackets back on with 17in wheels and 315/35 tires.

I'm also tempted to stay with the 16in wheels, and get some 255 slicks, just cause the car steers/tracks/rides so well with the lighter 16in wheels.

Any thoughts? Is there a calculator some where that lets you compare grip with 255 vs 315 tires?

Also any suggestions on seats or steering wheels would be appreciated.

Everything Alan mentions is spot on as always. I ran the Strano setup that you have for years on some challenging tracks and never had the oversteer issues your describing. I'm talking about tracks like Sebring, which is very rough, Daytona, transitioning on and off the banks, and Road Atlanta which has tremendous elevation change. The only difference with mine from yours was an aggressive alignment and good tires in at least a 275 section width.

Get it aligned, pick up some 17" wheels w/ 275's and put on the C5 brakes. Alan pretty much said the same thing but I wanted to add my personal experience.
