Been to the racetrack last weekend.

The rear is way to stiff with the koni loadadjusters. The inner wheel is completely lifted. I can set the dampers more week, but i think i gonna put standard koni's to the rear. This car is my daily car, and it isn't comfortabel.

It was very fun!

HAHA Frits, those are some crazy pics... still gotta be impressive front end grip with the inner rear wheel lifting...

Looks like fun! Are you still using the standard seats on track?

Yeah standard seats.. It's my daily driver, so I don't change seats or something. :P My girlfriend did like the racetrack too

I suspected more grip on the front. The car was more understeered than oversteerd. But i give the blame to the michelins. At the rear i used Pirelli P5000, those where very good.

If its under steering I wouldn't soften the rear as it'll make it worse.

Yeah, I really know.. But a inner spinning wheel is frustrating too.. And for a daily driver.... understand?

Yep know where you're coming from about comfort. Can you stiffen the front to compensate?

I also changed the Toe- IN/OUT of my car, normally its about 15' Toe-in, I set it on ZERO. It's said that it wil went in the corner better. And that its less stabel on straigt roads. I have to say that it corners a little bit better, (don't know or its just thinking or real) but on straigt its still pretty stabel. So I'm happy..

Oh, In the summer my car will get an exterior update 8)
