Imagine how good it will be when you tweak the rear a little and get used to it.

Yeah. I know there is still big gains to be had with rear improvements. Probably front aswell? But right now i couldnt feel any need until the rear is better.
One thing i did notice was i had the rear wanting to come around under braking. It was kinda un-nerving, but i reckon it could be used well to get the car turning in well with some practise.

Get Fowler to align the car and set the suspension up with you there while he does it. I learnt so much from him during my alignments. No offence but you could be rooting around for ages trying to get it right.

I know i need to loosen the rear. Its too stiff because i put 7kg springs in the coils up from 5kg. The reason i put 7kg springs in the rear was because i felt the front was too soft, so i bought 9kg springs for the front. I then put the old 7kg front springs in the rear. Stiffening the front has definely improved things from previous. There is no doubt in my mind that this has helped. But putting the 7 kg springs in the rear was a bad choice. Trial and error. Yes its probably a very long road to learn even a fraction of what someone like Fowler has learnt. But thats how you learn. These sorts of guys didnt know what they know from day 1. It would have taken them years to figure out what works. But they figured it out. I want to DIY as much as i can on the car. Its all part of the fun. And it may not be the fastest car, but its enjoyable process. I believe these coils should of originally had F9 and R6 springs. But i bought them used, and am certain the previous owner put softer springs in. Now i think i might buy a set of 6kg springs for the rear and try them. (Basically what i think the coilovers should have had in them to begin with. Surprise surprise what the manufacturer recommends/uses and will probably prove to be what works best.)
