Once the front end is pointed correctly and the car is settled in nicely, there is a definite sensation of the mass of the rear slinging the tail around the corner. Quite easy to make the rear tires 'sing' through a corner.There is an occasional light vibration in the steering in the straights. This is random enough to rule out tire balancing. The alignment guy suspected steering tie rod. Upon checking, it turned out to the a ball joint. That was soon sorted.There is a drawback when I moved the anti-roll bar setting at the rear from soft to stiff - more vibration gets into the cabin and the old leader and plastic parts are rubbing and making more noise. But if it makes the car handle so much better, that's noise which I will happily tolerate.Presently contemplating getting the e30 M3 aluminium lower arm, which will lower the unsprung weight. Will be reporting on progress.</blockquote>
