they are developed for track use, you can use them on road but they will just make the car more... harsh ride

i take it they are rosejointed?

If was me id give them a bit more front negative camber to dial out the off-throttle understeer personally.

Standard Cossie setup isnt for me, off throttle understeer changing to wild power oversteer.
Granted that understeer is safer for the average driver, but not when if you put the gas down it snaps wildly to oversteer like a powerful cossie does.

Prefer it to oversteer without needing the gas, much easier to handle IMO as then its just how much it oversteers, rahter than wildly snapping from one to the other.
