Hi, I have a 6 month old tuscan convert s, and at high speeds it does not feel as planted as my 2002s targa did, in fact it is a bit scarey at track day speed, i have done some searches on here, and do you think i will be better fitting a new make of shock, i.e GAZ SHOCKS, get it corner weighted, and set up, or am i wasting my money as the car is only 6 months old, any help would be welcome.Thanks

I would get the tracking looked at first. A set up at TVR Power took mine from being twitchy and nervous to rock solid on the original dampers.

The change to nitrons has improved it some more but nowhere near the change of getting it set up properly to start with. Sometimes when they come out of the factory they can be wildly out as a search on the tuscan forum will verify. IIRC someone on here posted a few weeks ago with the angles and some where +ve and others -ve.
