Default autocrossed today

Took the GS-R out for the 2nd time since I've owned it in about 2 years.

1) I've gotten really rusty and sucky
2) She's a tail happy b*tch, with even the 19mm rear bar, you guys wanting to put on 22 bars without any experience need to reconsider. I'm not having any problems recovering and playing out there, but a novice would quickly wrap cars around mailboxes
3) This is motivating me to start/finish the B16 for the CRX so I can really have fun out there again
4) This is cheaper than going to the range!

What springs/tires/shocks do you have on there to get overly tail happy off of a 19mm bar?

Stock front bar, 19mm ST rear bar.

Just the tokico package spring/shock package (tokico blues with springs that lower approx 1.75")

205-45-16 Sumitomo HTR-Z II's.

40/37 psi. That's it. Will definately lower rear pressures next time. But I have managed to rotate the car with stock pressures before, being 35/30.

It's not overly tailhappy, but no longer forgiving like a stock plowing integra.

I run the 22" sway bar and 17" rims, and the only time I've had *** happy problems was when I ran the front/rear@42/36. I ended up just cranking up the stiffness on the koni's to try and compensate as I don't have a portable air compressor.
