You've managed to get a 480 to corner with more than 0.0001g without understeering like an understeery thing??? Dude, you are a god! They key is in good condition shocks and bushes. They handle awesome with them. When these get old though they tend to get sloppy! Only problem is sloppy isn't knacke...

It's just I got a set of Cetus that look brand new from a low mile Celebration special edition (6000 miles and then it was written off and sat in a garage for 10 years!!!) so have whacked them on.
