mmmmmmmmm FLAPS

Hitting SPORT also makes the stability control a bit less ANAL???

Well, I've found one root cause for a bit of wayward handling.... snapped offside spring.

I'll see what difference getting that fixed makes, and pursue RTABs if it still feels odd.

You may as well get powerflex bushes, it improves things and the standard RTABs will only bite your ass some other day.

The CSL is quite a bit stiffer than the M3, so on anything other than smooth roads it's going to be skittish. The less compliance, the less grip on uneven surfaces.

Also, the front wheels/tyres are wider. Compared to the M3, the CSL consequently has less of an understeer balance.

I fitted new track arm bushes and bush arresters (alloy shims either side of bushes) and it tightened it up a treat more so under heavy braking loads more stable! and quiet compared to rose joints!
