    Lee - apart from the worlds biggest brakes and RS2 ARBs... what other chassis mods have you done ? Bending struts and deforming top mounts doesn't count BTW

      Konis set as I like them, geometry as I like and tyres: 255/35R18 up front and 235/40R18 on the rear in a compound that I like. This all makes the chassis quite neutral, grippy and progressive on the limit on track without being uncomfortable on the street. Try and ask too much of it an the car can snap oversteer when loaded but dead easy to catch. Shame I don't have enough power to hold the oversteer but unfortunately I have too much grip. Plus you don't even have to think about stopping distances with the tweaks I have made.

      With regards to bending parts, I have designed new brackets to reinforce the front hub and I have something in the pipeline for the topmounts and chassis strengthening. Also, to avoid destroying the Polyurethane wishbone bushes I will soon be using something a tad better...going through the workshop in the the new year.
