Tyres pressures need checking but I keep it at 33PSI cause I feel tyre walls of fk452 are too weak. 25mm front arb....I do have variable geometry bushes and got about 1 degree of camber at front. Probably needs checking but haven't done so as tyre on front is quite even.What tyres, FARB, tyre pressure and geometry angles you running?
You have these variable geometry wishbone bushes do you not?
Well falkens are nearly gone so toyo t1rs on the way. Couple of mm left till wear till they need changing so anytime soon.I'd be looking at the tyres first as its the cheapest one to sort. Check your tyre pressures weekly to be sure
I got a cheapo one from Tesco couple years back but as you can imagine it was very poor. Any particular one you suggest?The thing that improved my handling massively was getting a digital tyre pressure gauge and doing weekly checks on these. But have also always used top of the range tyres, so that also helps in a FWD car fighting for traction
R888's.
Its impossible to flex these side walls
Blimey thats like having another person in the car.Just the blocks (dry), no gearbox, fluid, IC's etc, the weight comes in at...
82kg Cupra R
134kg TDI 150PD
Last time I checked from a tech I spoke to...
Shows you the difference just in those..

Maz, you're a funny one mate. You've spent so much time and money sorting the geo and so on with the car, but still run ditchfinding tyres (relatively).
A few tyre suggestions for you, assuming you aren't going to track it and wreck the tyres:
Avon ZZR
Toyo R888
Yoko A021
(would say A048 or A032, but your car will eat them in 4-5,000 miles)
If you think the above will wear too quickly, try to find some Kumho Ecsta V70A's if poss. The Caterham guys have just started using them and there is a real buzz about them.
