Well as far as future aspirations (I'm putting a freeze on spending $$$ on my car until the end of the year though, spent too much already), the purpose is quite frankly for it to be fun, not to beat out cars on the track or autox.
Definition of fun = rear end that gets loose on initial turn in, stays neutral, and has mild oversteer that can be modulated with the gas pedal. Oh, and doesn't break my back from bumpiness.
Simply put, tossable in corners.
I guess specifically I want to get rid of the wall of understeer I feel at turn-in.
It feels like it pushes very hard initially--but then through the corner and out the apex it's pretty neutral and rotates nicely. Possibilities I suppose would be softer front sway, but maybe also stiffer springs to the rear? I think the springs for the Mugen suspension is actually stiffer up front compared to rear, and even then the spring rates are softer than OEM. I suppose ideally you'd want to have the wheel rate closer to the front, but dang that'd mean for 200# fronts you'd need 600# rears? I'm guessing that'll wear out the rear dampers in quick order.
This is all just theorizing for now though, since like I said I'm done spending money on my car for now. After getting wheels powdercoated for 2nd time, dismounting/remounting and balancing, I wanna law low :)
