I started with one of the Brit team drivers setups (C Grainger / West London).

I have attached my setup sheet to have a look at to, this is the final setup I ended up on.

The car itself just had no real turn in, drifted and pushed out bad on power, would turn in sharp off power and then the backend would go loose.

I was tempted to put harder springs on the front, but not sure if this would have only made things worse heating the front up further, so making the car push even more.

Any advice is welcomed
It sounds like the rear of the car is stuck. I have found laying down the rear shocks frees the rear up and lets it rotate the corner.
