Thanks for the feedback.

The funny thing is that it doesn't appear to lose rear grip until the spring starts to unload, hence why we upped the rear shocks and it seemed to help.

I might dial up the front shocks a bit and see if it helps there too, as well as playing with the no rear swaybar idea.

Although I hadn't mentioned it in this thread, before starting I had adjusted the ride height to obtain the recommended positive rake & the rest of the settings are as per the 949 alignment page.

Cheers

stock front and no rear = weak.

Yeah I'm suspecting as much (just epic understeer) but I might learn something. :giggle:

Okay the results are in... firming up the front shocks seemed to claw back some of the understeer issue, but there's still quite a bit of a dive going on. The car is much easier to drive now!

I'm going to order a set of 8kg/mm springs for the front and have another play. If I'm lucky it might reduce the diving issue.
