An old rule of thumb suggests that only one thing at a time should be adjusted. Now you don't know whether it's the arb or the ride height that's making the difference.

I know what you mean but in order I changed:

ride height - then drove

ride height again - then drove

arb - then drove

 

I decided to change the arb as well, following Peter's advice (and a few others') that 4 was too stiff. I have changed the arb settings before so have some familiarity with the changes, and as position 2 is considered 'standard' it's as good a place to start as any. It only takes a couple of minutes to change, so I can easily play around a bit more on the track.

 

My main point was that the car now feels different and, I think , better. I am now more aware of the back of the car but am not sure if this is because I have gone too far (too much oversteer) or because the car simply feels different and I have yet to get used to it.

 

I have previously found that you can only tell so much from driving on the road whereas a track- or an airfield-day is much more informative.
