Nervous handling on the edge

Following on from the above post, making sure that the amount of rear wheel toe in is correct made a big difference for me as well (hence the adjustable wishbones) as would tyres/pressures etc. I can't recall 100% what the settings should be but can check if it would help...

Thanks folks for the help! Tyres are worn out, and I think I will go for 185/70 x 13 sticky tyres, to fill the gaps. Has anyone tried Kumho V70a as an alternative to yoko A021?

uboat if you put 185 tyres they will rub on the body at the front. They will grip more and you will need to change shock rates and spring rates
