The examples posted above? I can tell from here in front of my PC that they will handle like a dog on laminate flooring and grind and crunch everywhere. Epic waste of money.
Right, but a 306 is also sensitive to suspension changes. Does that mean they all handle like crap too?
What's the difference between spending £150 on setting up the standard geometry and spending £150 on setting up geometry with more adjustability?
I 100% guarantee that the MX5 was designed with some comfort in mind at the expense of even better handling. There is no reason why this compromise can't be exploited. Not everyone fits eBay coilovers and winds them all the way down
