Title: Speed up turn in.
Post by: rich83 on May 09, 2011, 12:22:53 pm

Is it possible to speed up the turn in on our cars, or to make it feel a bit more direct?

Lightweight wheels, poly bushes, coilovers, engine mounts and UNibrace all help turn in...

Don't forget you are fighting against the inertia of a spinning R32 disc.  :wink:
