Even though I won by a considerable margin, I still wasn't happy with the low speed steering either so switched to 5 deg caster this week.

The other thing I found out, the Yokomo soft rears which worked a treat on a well prepared and grippy track, didn't work so well on a lower grip track, the Shimizu 575's were quicker, the Yokomo's just didn't have the side bite.

Hopefully we can get Rob's car running right this Friday

Hi Beth,

speaking of tyres...what do you think i should have for the nats coming up.
temps should be mid 25 plus air temp and the surface is newish asphalt with medium grip.
have the ride 1 for rear plus the yokomo YF-36RS2 you mentioned other day and have the shimizu medium for front you said and got some Pit Shimizu PS-0577 fronts and what else would you recommend?
cheers.
