cheers for the info mate . be at combe soon so i hope to see the benifits on there with it . been playing with the car over the past few days (brakes needed bedding in so was not thrashing it ) and its interesting feeling the diff work . i have had the outer wheel spinning which is quite rare

If you ever decide to fit adjustable top mounts that KW sell that will help find even more traction when you can introduce camber. This will give you even less understeer and a really sharp turn in.

For track use I was running 1.8-2 degrees negative which was bearable for road but for serious track work 3+ is essential when running sticky rubber.

Only thing is, is that it's a pain for paying for geometry adjustments unless you can do it yourself.
