Handling Escos
Now the brakes are on..and fooking hell are they better than stock 
....i had a moment in my car. 
Remember i have Ohlins
set at fairly stiff but not Mike R kinda stiff
Deceided to go fast round a 90 degreer the back end just let go so a was broad sideways...totally controllable though!.....But i am wondering should it have let go so easily imo

Possibly wouldn't have run wide if you kept power on.......may have gone a bit and then dug in.
Thing is, there's so many ways a car will react to different suspension setups....e.g. metal handling, but no warning before letting go, or you could have a setup where it gives you a warning when it's about to break away...

My Grp.N escort would go sideways very easily on PROFLEX and ill suspension settings
Cornering OFF power is never a really smart thing to do now is it?
A 4x4 wants to be kept on throttle when going sideways, letting off is not a good idea...
