All the changes combined to give me the handling I needed:
- changed body from PF Stratus 3 to PF Mazda 6 to get more front bite
- increased rear ride-height by 0.2mm to get a bit more weight on the front wheels
- reduced camber all round by 0.5 degrees to get a bit more side bite (too difficult with the one-way)
- added 1mm shim under front top links to get more front camber change (more front bite mid corner)
- moved front shock one hole out (3 to 4) on the shock tower to get more steering in slow tight corners
- reduced front track width (smaller shims between pivot holders and bulkheads) to get more front bite
- increased front toe-out from 0.5 to 0.75 degrees to get more steering mid corner in tight corner
- reduced the Ackerman angle (4 to 2 on the servo saver) to give the car more neutral steering through the corner (with all the changes it would have been to aggressive on power otherwise)
- two extra screws in the rear bulkheads to remove some rear chassis flex
You may not need all these changes, but most of them contribute to getting more front bite.
