They are standard, get them up to 300hp and they become a bit of a weapon, but that totally defeats the point of a family bus. The rear seats don't fold down either which is just stupid.
Decent, I miss my old Mazda 6 at times, more so the BOSE system. Good choice on fuel type as well as the diesel is horrendously Unreliable.
I keep looking at the CX7 2.3t for a family bus as they're peanuts for what you get as a package.
From the above yeah camber bolts for the front just to get them equal more than anything as its over 1 degree out on the left. I'd leave the rear TBH as its only 0.30 out on the left, you could shim the right with a 0.5 degree shim but that would make the right camber 0.2 out then.
Get a set of camber bolts installed first then take it to one of the garages below for a Hunterhawk eye alignment asking for as much negative camber on both sides as possible but equal, you'll normally get around -2.3 max and then ask for the front toe to be set around -0.06 each side -0.12...
Kumho Ecsta KU39 is a great tyre for the money, can be had for around £55 in 205/45/16.

Full time track car, forget both. Go RC6, RC6E, RC8 or Ds1.11.
Had both CL5+ & DS2500 and they lack when really pushed on track tyres. Currently got RC8s and they're nutty. In all honesty I'd go RC6E or Ds1.11 as both will last and give reliable stopping power.
I'm in the same boat Dan, want more out of my suspension but budget coilovers aren't the way to go. Stick with what you have with fresh shocks or wait and go B14s if mainly road use with less than 3 track days a year or BC DR's with solid camber adjustable top mounts and custom spring rates if...
James you can throw 300hp at the Meg and still won't be as exciting as the Clio, much quicker but TC just isn't the same! Sell the Meg get a trophy and fit a diff... done!
It's funny as I found RC5+ quite poor on my car, no chance of locking up on track with R888s and struggled on Rainsports on the road. Must have had air in the system or something....
It's all about the tyres and road/track condition, cold road tyres on cold, greesy, salty roads and they will lock up very easily. You wanna try RC8s, these lock up with hot track tyres on a dry track.
