When I tried 100km to enter a corner in Eastern Corridor, 3 bars setting is a little bit more stable than 2 bars. However, 3 bars gave me a feeling that I will easier lost the grip then 2 bars. Maybe my tyre is not wide enough to get more grip. Last night I have about 0.5 sec - 1 sec lost the grip just after exit the Eastern Tunnel. 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.

My issue has been resolved. I simply remove the rear bar, then the pipe has raised up to normal position. The middle bar did not touch the pipe anymore. The whole car immediately return to normal in terms of noise level and comfort. Thanks very much for AK and many brothers suggestion and phone call. I owe you all lemon tea!
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.

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