Hi Stu,
Yes, I'm waiting to write a blog thing but basically they do what they say on the tin. I haven't used it in anger in the dry properly but so far it's been compliant in a way I wouldn't have thought possible previously, it is better than the daily car in many respects! The money had to be spent as the previous setup was basically 90% race, outside of the mega stiff setup window the dampers just started doing really sh1t things. If you backed them off you got a better (but still pretty rigid) ride quality but also chronic under steer and a mobile rear! I have some more settings which are firmer to try, at the moment it's not needed.
The next step is to book a track day somewhere. It's a weird feeling to get used to as my brain is telling me soft equals an out of control mess as we go faster, I need to explore them in an environment I can push it and find out what it all does. Before you could get it out of shape reasonably easily on a bumpy(ish) road, now not so much. All the settings will stay as is, only the main adjustment is needed to firm things up so they're not really that scary to work with. The car is due in for a service so I'll ask them to check the geometry. The tyres are being changed to V70A's, the 888's (soft) on the front are just too hard IMO, it's not possible to get super soft.
Perhaps then someone at the factory will take it out and give me some feedback, I have only known Atom's for 3000 miles and limited to Intrax and 80 miles of Bilstein, so it's difficult to say exactly how good this is, I'm realistic, and an engineer so not precious about asking questions. It'd be easy to sit back and say this is the 'best thing since sliced bread', and from where it was it is, no question. They have delivered upon their promises and I have the data from the other owner which has been invaluable, he continues to develop his own setup. and the track side of it really should be the easy part as everything has loads of headroom to be stiffened up. If it ever got to the point where I felt I needed more we just change springs, I very much doubt this will ever happen knowing how it drives at the moment.
A long winded 'yes'
) the car still gripped very well when pushing. That said, I was driving like a baby.
