    What is the specific handling issue?

    I have bilstein rear tarmac dampers i think they are 200/80, with pro-tec rear springs and GSI anti roll bar.

    Mine is fairly soft on rear, and the rear its a bit loose, but it cuts down the understeer from the front.

    Understatement of the year looking at your Goodwood footage.. But loose is fast if you can control it.

    Haha,the problem with Goodwood is the stages are very short. If I could get some more tyre temperature on the rear i think it will be ok. We are going to try changing the toe and camber on rear to improve this.

    But saying that it is predictable.

    Theirs is standard.

    You can buy tapered shims to install behind the bolt on hubs to change the geometry.

    I know you can adjust the camber that way but what way do you adjust the castor

    You cant adjust the castor. So you put shims in top or bottom to adjust camber and shims front a back to adjust toe.
