Don't you love buying other people's problems? I too have a laundry list longer than my arm of things to repair/replace/upgrade on my car. All in good time.

 

Following Powerstation's geo adjustment, it's quite a relief to say the car is now handling very much better In fact, quite devastatingly so

The real change from the last geo setting, and indeed from the start, appears to be correcting front negative camber imbalance. Yes the rear camber was also reduced and there's slightly less toe-in all round, but I'm surprised by how much havoc in a set-up 3/4° of front camber difference can make

Powerstation didn't give opportunity for personal preferred settings, and to be fair the point was to investigate one-sided understeer. However I would have liked a little more toe-in which is what I'm used to, and I'm not sure -1° up front enough.

Since overall grip levels have increased massively as well as front imbalances, it's much easier to assess what everything else is doing. Almost from the off it was noticeable too much roll was in the car overall, as well as a fair amount of lift-off oversteer. So I changed the front arb's stiffness to the stiffer of the two settings. This has reduced the amount of overall roll, as well as further increasing overall grip levels and sharpening turn-in even more. Quite a change. Just an aside, I can see the softer setting appealing to some. It would suit the very smooth driving style and those who like the car with a bias towards being throttle controlled.

The handling is now quite close to what I was after, and am now looking forward to fitting the rear struts...
