Hi all,
I've just got hold of a 2nd hand Type R (needs an overhaul though, where's Foose!?). I am going to strip the whole thing down and rebuild it, but I was wondering how good the suggested kit setup for tarmac is? Are there any changes/improvements that I need to make before I hit the track.
I will be running on a tight, med bite tarmac track so any advice would be appreciated.
I used to run a JRXS a few years back, loved that car once I got the setup nailed!
Cheers in advance.

It's dialed and is the fastest car in on the track, so for our track, it's great. Results from 12/10/08

I've never sprung my car that soft, but if it works for you go right ahead. I'd definately try stiffening up the springs, you may be surprised at how high you are able to spring before the car gets too "floaty", as mikexray said, i'm running 17.5's, 40/45 r/f, 56 pistons, all four corners for 10.5 rubber and have never had traction issues. 
If it works for you though, and your run seemed fairly consistant, then stick with it and practice!!
don't fix it if it ain't broke!!
