TEINS are good enough for Alex and me!

As far as damping settings etc. As long as it's not an DCCD equipped STi (where electronics take care of slip angle dynamics) or a setup with a trick rear Diff (Morgan!), the general rule is to firm up the rear and soften the front (a tad more than the rear). A little "dive" in the front of the car while braking is a good thing as it will help reduce understeer by shifting the weight to the front wheels for better turn in. The secret is to work out just how much though... as too much will make the excess weight 'distort' the slip angle of the front tyres.. and then we're back to square one of understeer central!

For anyone who really wants to learn more about what actually causes understeer/ oversteer and just about every suspension/ car mod adjustment you can make to dial these factors in or out, feel free to log onto our website and follow this link:

It's well worth the read.
Joel.

Ps. As for your question...best to ask Blaise or Clint as the RA has group 4s on it
right place right time and having the cash then and there I guess. I won't say I got a bargain on price but I am happy.

Just wondering, does anyone else have excessive squeaking from the rear parcel shelf/seat where the adjustable knobs are? I think that's where all the noises are coming from.
