How much camber front and rear ? Think my camber 'imbalance' will exaggerate the effect.

2 front and 2.30' rear. But I do have the toe arms so no bump/acceleration steer

Well now it's scrubbed in it feels great.

Took it around Donington as per my thread: its very neutral with loads of grip, no real under or oversteer on the limit and plenty of feedback.
On the road it feels really nimble with great turn in but still feels super stable. I struggle getting the back end to do anything even in 1st around a mini roundabout.

Can't really complain at anything, the rear bump steer effect is almost eliminated too.

My mate commented last night at how much more grip it has that his standard car.

Tyre wear will be monitored

Just a quick update on this, it's still a weapon and I havent crashed it yet so all good

Seriously though the amount of speed this can carry even in the rain is impressive, even more so is the amount of confidence it in (combination of geo and F1AS2s), i can throw it around like a fwd. My commute changed in Oct 13 due to a closed bridge (in Pangbourne if anyone knows it), so I have spent the winter driving some proper windy country back lanes, often covered in mud/ standing water and potholes and often behind slow drivers who i have to overtake. The car has been faultess also tyre wear is fine now. The rears did 15k including the donnington track day.

I think it needs checking again though asits hit some pretty decent potholes over the last 18months.
