Did you sort our your handling/tramlining issues? Is it better now?

yes and no

i had it adjusted on the front to TOE-OUT slightly (against Mike R's advice ) and it settled it a little bit....

Also as i have been driving (done about 1k miles in it now i guess) there has been a slight improvement again,SOOOOOOO i'm really leaning towards changing the tyres now,especially the rears...being 245 wide they seem to grab every little nook and cranny,i'll also change the front as i'm not overly keen on them either

just need to decide on suitable replacements,i was very happy with my Yoko parada's on my old saff,but the best size i can get with them is 215/40,so i'm not sure i'll have enough grip (plus there not very good in the wet at all).

So to sum up

i'm gonna change the tyres,then maybe try a bit of TOE-IN,if that doesn't fix it i'm gonna replace all of the polybushes in the rear beam for standard jobbies,if that doesn't fix it then i'm gonna break the car

to be honest i'm getting used to it more now,although i did lose traction round a slight bend yesterday in 3rd gear.....certainly keeps me on my toes
