Default Testing my race car today I found the limit!
After fitting my MK motorsport rear beam, I today got to test it and I'm really impressed with it, I pushed hard to find the limit and soon found it lol

Good to hear that it makes a difference, I am going to put one on my 205 4x4 pug and wanted to know the end user benefits....MK keeps telling me to do it but it is nice to hear people feeling the difference....what geometry did you start with and have you had to change it much?

The long (ish) wheel base of the Sierra will help for sliding, my Cerbera used to slide until the tyres went pop but I think my 205 with 4wd is going to be more of a handful, I tried sliding my mates griff 500 without Power steering and it was almost impossible, the instructor span off too.

Is it still 4x4 or converted to rwd? And what's the rest of the suspension setup?
