But not sure it was due to the 3 bars or the rain. but I think it was the bar because I am familiar with the Eastern Corridor and
I am using the normal speed (80) to enter the corner.

I may consider to change SB but after Supersprint pipe and Sprint Booster...

Thanks for your suggestions.

Below is the update pic after removed the rear bar. So if someone really want to install the rear bar, likely need to custom made the pipe.

Capt 16".
I wonder why Alan and Keith also lost the grip after installed these 3 bars. Characteristic or side effect ?

That could be wet road is the one to blame. I'd suggest you upgrade the tyres before next power/handling upgrade. Those upgrades will put heavier work load on the tyres. You will need Bridgestone RE050A / Michelin PS2 class of tyres if you prefer spirited driving.
