This is the last set-up I had that handled "ok". THe problem i'm having, is it's so damned hard to find any sweet-spot for handling, it's either to tail-happy, too much turn-in, hooking on low speed turns, understeering out of the turn, every time I tweak it just shifts a problem elsewhere.
I'd really love a driveable car that wasn't fast. I can handle losing speed through turns, I can't handle spinning out!
