Ok, a couple of things

1) Camber settings
How much do you run on the front? How do you get negative camber on the back (apart from lowering it) or what settings do you use, when you mention you've got reduced understeer
2) Do you use anything special for the front anti roll bar?

3) How were the brakes?

Thanks :thumbs:

I wouldn't know the front camber or toe at the moment but now have the alignment gear to check. Its always driven straight so I'd guess near factory settings. The rear camber was changed by a plastic wedge disc but to be honest it could have been done with washes. Lloyd done that bit so he could explain better. We've uprated the rear anti roll bar at the moment due to the heavy front end and light back to try and create more grip. We also have an uprated front but haven't fitted it yet.
The brakes seem to be a thorn in our side. They are good.......but can't get the disc/pad combination right. Going to start talking to brake companies re the problems we're getting to find out if its pad choice or crap discs.
