Nice video! I noticed you are using Harry's Laptimer, what's the max G's you are seeing during cornering? And what is your suspension like?

Is the rest of the suspension standard, or polybushes and maybe 6 degree rear beam or other things? And what tyres are you using?

The suspension is standard only some orange polybushes, (i do not know the maufacturer of them) gaz coilover, and Michelin pilot sport cup 2.

Next year i aim for wider tyres, better coilovers, new front rotors and pads.

That's not bad cornering then. Mine understeered quite a bit before I had the 6 degrees rear beam fitted. But the max I have seen is also 1.2g. Mine is still on Konis and Ahmed springs, coilovers are also on my wish list.

Ok do you feel that it is a big difference between standard rear and the 6 degree beam? Is it worth the money?

On the standard beam the toe changes quite a bit during bump and droop, causing the rear suspension to steer in the same direction as the front wheels. That makes that the car doesn't want to turn in that well. Your springs are quite stiff so the steering of the rear is less than normal. But I expect the 6 degree beam is still quite an improvement. Also the camber curves on the rear with standard beam on bump and droop don't match well with those of the front. With the 6 degree beam that is also better.

So yes I think it is worth the money.
