hello guys, i rally an e30 318is have coil overs fitted front and rear, spring rates 180lb / inch at front and back. I find that getting traction out of slow / tight corners is a problem, was going to try different ride hieghts / spring rates etc and wondered if anyone had any advice. Trouble I found when lowering back end is that a lot of negative camber is induced (and hence full width of tyre is not contacting road), was thinking of moding the beam has anyone tried this. Any comments would be grateful.

Can't recommend Leda enough, cracking bit of kit for the money, you can buy adjustable camber/caster rear bushes that would probably sort that out
