After giving this much thought!!! Kim get shot of dixie and get yourself a lighter model. You will find the car wont pull to right anymore. And your upgrade wont nick off for sly fags behind Wyns bonnet.laugh

yikes Shouldn't it be more like 28 front 24 rear? Or is that just my car? (Which drifts left if I let go)

Have a look at the wear patterns to the edges of the tyres, sometimes that gives a clue.

I've got 24 all round. I rang a few large TVR specialists a year or two ago and they all recommended 24 all round. Some recomend 22 at the front.

I had this on mine, turned out one of the front ARB to chassis brackets was loose. I only found it when I changed the ARB bushes though.

I think the 350 205 tires need a bit more presure.
but anything from 22-28 should be ok. for road use.

What tires have you got. sa it sounds like they maybe a bit hard for the car. or maybe you have poly bushes.

I've always understood it to be 22 front, 24 rear, personally I always use 24 all round, look right, feels right. On std wheels and tyres of course.
