    What's your ride height? I'm surprised the car can get as little as -1 at the ride height range in which the Ohlins are functional. More commonly people can't get it positive enough for street use after lowering the car...

    Are you running the strut spacer at the bottom of your shocks?

      I feel like you're throwing parts at a problem that came up when only after you made a change to stock camber settings and it handles worse. -1 front & -0.8 rear is a recipe for entry understeer. I would try running -1.8 front & -0.8 rear before you buy any other parts. It sounds like that is achievable with the parts you already have on the car.

      If you do this and you're still feeling understeer that is present while cornering then what Obioban is saying should be the next step IMO. It can be hard to separate entry from mid-corner on public roads but it's an important distinction for what to do after you go to camber settings that make more sense.

        Agreed. I was replying to the symptoms described, but... -1 isn't much :P
