Thanks for the feedback, Brad. Are you sure about the squeakines? I had my old BMW E36 track slag fully bushed up with that brand of poly bush and experienced zero squeaking or any other issues and they made a very tangible difference to how tight the car felt...

What tyres do the track guys run? My factory spec 17-inch tyres are stupidly staggered - 205 front, 255 rear. Imagine it will still understeer even with a degree more camber up front. As it happens I ran -2.5 front and -1.0 rear on my old BMW - nicely set up to oversteer everywhere, which is how I like it!
