Max,
Make sure that Jason is aware of your normal fighting weight if you want it set up for track day use.
Or are you going for the softer continental touring set up to ensure Lucia's comfort?

Decisions decisions.......

I'll be present while being set up so he'll be able to gauge my fighting weight. It will be more track biased for sure

Have got mine booked in with Hangar 111 for first week in May Max. They're Lotus specialists but have done tiv's before so it should be ok. I can literally push my car from the unit to their workshop, so I'm sure they'll want to do a good job! Today my task is to finish rebuilding the top of the engine to stop the pesky oil leak, then fitting the new Protech shocks I got earlier in the week. Happy days..

Tyres are Dunlop blue rinse - very happy with them

coilover set up details are in the suspension wiki

Will give an initial update after the drive home and details of how much adjustment is needed -could be small or large as the front suspension has been off this winter for new bushes and lower ball joints

longer term reviews will be provided after EuroTour and track days once completed.

Will also give a review on str8six and cost too once home (on Friday).

What a difference a day makes ............

Well it does when you've had a 4 wheel alignment and set up along with reshimming the rack.

Feels so much better and a great drive home on quiet twisty roads.

Can thoroughly recommend Str8six @ Newark - thanks Nick.
