I tried the BMI springs, but couldn't tell any difference to the AE springs. However, I suspect that I can now run the thick L Plates (0.070") and the BMI springs and get more steering and grip all round - next time!

Ran the gold spring in the first couple of rounds, and then switched to the red spring to get more front end. Wasn't what I hoped, so have a copper spring for next time.

I guess my biggest reasons for running the car are a) it's different; b) it turns very accurately - always reacts in the same place in the same way; and c) it has a lot of rear grip which I find suits my style these days - I can't hang on to a fast car anymore! That it doesn't tweak, is very strong, and works first time as the kit, are added bonuses. I just need to find a bit more front end bite, hence the intention to go back to thick L plates and BMI springs.
