Interesting reading that the back end feels a bit funky, or like driving by the seat of your pants!

Im a mate of DavidH who will be attempting to help with his build no doubt... and I have owned a GTM Libra for 4 and a bit years now!

Our rear suspension has gone through a few iterations and although better still feels a bit like this on occasions.

In these light cars even changing conditions require different setup, softer in the wet etc really. I leave my car setup the same for ease of use, yet over christmas it was great on a blat on a nice sunny day, and was very "seat of your pants" on slightly damp roads a few days later. Just feels a bit skittish I guess, although Im sometimes sure its just me in a different mood and nothing to do with the car.

I even go so far as to disconnect my rear ARB in wet weather and when not on track to get a bit more feel.

But good luck getting through the SVA and enjoy the car. The 5exi looks great, cant wait to get started building one...
