Its hard to describe but with power on in second sometimes third the back end wanted to come round a little pushing the front in tighter but i was still in control and could feel what the car was going to do next. definitely feels more solid on the back.
This was on the medium setting (middle hole in the photo) and like crowman said if its on the hardest setting it makes it very skittish and back happy!!!!
cant wait for the geo set up to see if they can increase grip a little more. I did have prodrive camber set on the front wheels but i cocked it up when i lowered the car myself so i need to get it set up again!! DOUGHNUT
When i had the camber done the front felt quite heavy but boy did it turn in on fast bends. With the added ARB and camber re-done i cant wait for the ring

At the moment from the route i run it round today it feels just better can not put a finger on it.I doubt i will use the hardest setting but did think about anti-lift kit but going for the geo day first with prodrive settings.

I'd recommend a ALK as well if you can stretch to it, had mine done along with the alignment at Mocom racing and it completely changed how the front end felt

Agree with Granby about the anti-lift kit. Very worthwhile to finish it off.

Then there is the bump-steer mod...............
