And just remembered that the rear setup might be riding awfully close to the bump stops. I'll go and cut out 1 inch from it and see how it goes then. I dont have added any more power since i got the car. So thats out. - wish i had more power though. In the rear i'm running a set of koni (red) internally (read pain in the @#$# to adjust) adjustable shocks. - I have not got around to setting that just yet. With around 1/2 way around, the thing seems to be ok. My round about speed for now seems to be around 10kmh as well. The funny thing is.. it does well in the sweeping stuff. What i'll do i go and cut off 1 - 2 inches from the bump stop.. and see how that goes. *hopefully somewhere* If i can find myself a set of 15's .. i'll go have a look at the Michelin Energy XM-1s were they expensive tyres ? I'm not suddenly going to wide open throttle to get the back end out. I'm driving close to the limit of front grip.. then the back end just (without alot of warning) steps out - bigtime. No progression in the wet. If i have not got it all mixed up... i think that i might have had less understeer without the lsd and less of the rear end sliding away. I do most of my suspension tuning and setup with the wet / rain. I find that its easier to setup a more progressive car when done in the wet. The understeer comes in sooner (so i know what to dial out). - yes i've also got slight (should be less) understeer. Plan... ------- 1. Cut bump stop (perhaps its a rear squat problem) 2. Lower front of the car. (new rear spings have lowered the rear) [Report message to a moderator]
