Huh... I didn't know you could effectively tune out over or under steer with adjustable coilovers... I got some pointers on how to use the KW's from George but, to be honest, a lot of what he said went right over my head...
Now that there are more owners of these things, we should all get together and compare notes. I know I would benefit from it...

well the problem is I can't ask off that Friday. I would have to leave after work and get a hotel and then arrive what around 12:00 or so? Providing I don't get lost and I do 5 hours (sleep & get up and leave @ 6:00am) and do another 5-6 hours...
I am kidding, Alex... I understand that driving up here is not a lot of fun and that flying is just... well.. easier. Frankly, I am really surprised at your desire to come up here and hang with us idiots at all... No one really expects you to or would be even a little miffed if you just were like "eff it" and didn't come at all...
We like you and your company but hey... Franklin isn't right next door. Do what you need to do, bro.

I've seen a nice table/matrix with adjustments and what it does to the car but I can't find it anymore
It is like finding the cure for cancer but writing it down in invisible ink.

found something along the same lines:
To reduce oversteer (increase understeer):-
Reduce weight transfer at rear by reducing rear roll stiffness
Increase weight tranfer on front by increasing front roll stiffness
Reduce aerodynamic downforce on the front tyres
Increase aerodynamic downforce on the rear tyres
Use wider rear tyres
Use narrower front tyres
Use heavier front springs
Use lighter rear springs
Use a heavier front antiroll bar
Use a lighter rear antiroll bar
Move some weight forward
Use softer rear shocks
Use harder front shocks
Use more negative camber at the rear
Use more positive camber at the front
Lower the front tyre pressure
Raise the rear tyre pressure
Make the rear track wider
Make the front track narrower

Laying sod tomorrow. Only about 150 sqft, but it is enough to complain.
