After a few days of constant testing with the new suspension, I can tell you what I found.

Whenever I half-WOT the car in a corner you will notice short period of understeer then I gain neutral steering in the middle of the turn to the end of the turn. With my Pirelli P6000 the car seems to slide pre-maturely and I haven't have a chance to do oversteer because the road is not wide enough. The tires will slip before I can do WOT.

Which means, I will either need to take it to the track or I need wider, grippier tires to reveal the full potential of the whole suspension.

Right now I'm still experiencing with the car and haven't been able to learn how to drive it to its fullest yet!

I'm still a little hesitant to push my car to the limit. It's weird, the car seems to "feel" slower and more sluggish. I find myself taking corners with ease and not realizing how fast I'm really going until I look at the speedo comming out of the turn. It's a good feeling but scary sometimes.

Remember a little oversteer is fun, but too much will get you into a lot of shiat real quick. Too much drift videos for you, Dickson! :grin:
