Default How to make a mk3 fiesta handle well on a track???

Right, I have a base model mk3 fiesta, that I’m building a Zetec turbo engine for. I have pretty much everything to finish it now.

its solely being built for a track car.

so far I have AVO coilovers and rear hub angled shims.

it has 300mm ST170 discs with Wilwood 4 pot callipers on the front, with 5 spoke Team Dynamics wheels.

i was thinking of fitting adjustable front top mounts so I could lean the shock absorbers in at the top for some negative camber???

Apart from this, does anyone have any other info or tricks on how to make a mk3 fiesta handle really well?

i used to have a mk5 Zetec S fiesta with a Puma engine, that just had cheap coil overs, slicks and ET30 offset wheels (they stick out past the standard wings) and that handled absolutely spot on.

Woild apreciate any info on making this into a beast for the track

cheers
