My understanding is that the testng involved playing with the valving of the SS's to suit our roads. Fulcrum had a Tein engineer over for 2 weeks working with the shocks on different cars, MX5 being one of them.

I haven't been able to afford much track time :frown:

But my flex with racing beat sways seems pretty neutral so far :?
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Last time on a skid pan I was getting bad low speed understeer, but the 2nd hand R comps I was using were probably to blame.

I backed my front shocks off to 3 less than the front and it helped with reducing understeer substantially.
