We are using ungreased poly. We are going to make them greasable (It's on the list of winter changes).
I was watching our race video last night. On the last corner, 1.5 miles from the north finish, we hit a rough patch at the apex (broken pavement) and the car hopped sideways 10 feet and we slid sideways at 110 mph through the weeds. It was totally controllable, but we'd like the rear suspension to be able to absorb those kind of hits when the car is cornering near it's limits on a given road and avoid off course excursions in the future.
The hit on the inside rear tire in combination with the monster sway bar basically picked up the whole back of the car and threw it sideways.
