Any recommendations about COM placement, for a track with a very sharp transition? (picture below) We have used a 1" COM with great success, but I'd like to try 3/4". But, I'm worried about the front end going crazy after coming through that sharp transition curve. Thank you for any insights you may have.

Thanks for your input 5 Kids and Advanced.
I've used negative cant front and back in prior years. This year's car is set up with positive cant in the front. It has an extended wheel base. I'm using 91's with one axle pre-bent from ___. I think the bend is about 3 degrees. The wheels are super stockers (3 wheels + 1 guide post/fin).
In the past I've set my steering to drift 2" over an 8 foot distance. As I've read all the PDDR posts over the past year, I've come to think that I probably don't have it drift enough. Life would be easier if I had room for a track.

I would flip the rears, install spacers and run on the stiff part of the SS'ers. A more aggressive curve may cause some unwanted flex if you run them normally. As long as the spacers are legal....
