Yeah, obviously better rubber is less likely to spin...
I cant help but feel its due to weight transfer also...
The cgt and my 90q really lift the front, luckily the 90q squats at the back
so there is never an issue with traction...
Don't know of anyway round this though in the cgt ;( I suppose a sensible
drop would only help..... as the front would be limited by the amount it
could lift due to its shorter shocks...dunno if any of this is right, it was
just my gut feel..

Would different tires help? At the moment I have Michelin Pilots on all 
four corners.
