No idea really, I'm by no means knowledgeable in setting up suspension. I'd ask Curtis at Powerstation if it wasn't for the fact that I like the way it feels.
Your question is valid though, I'll ask Mark Fish his opinion next time I'm there to satisfy curiosity.
Well, if they haven't been balanced and you haven't had the alignment checked yet, I'd suggest doing that. Don't K-tec balance the wheels though? (I'm presuming you bought a wheel/tyre combo from them).
Also, if you aren't too far away (I'm near Maidstone) I'll take you out in mine if you want...
Having a different make/type of tyre could be the difference. How many miles have you done on them? New tyres don't give their full grip until they have a good few miles under them.
You've made the track shorter by 6mm in total and it shouldn't really be a problem. Have you fitted the same brand tyres that you were running previously? Are the pressures correct?
There's no way he'll beat you 'hands down', I doubt there will be much in it. P7000's won't help your cause though in my opinion. You'd best hope he's running re-moulds!
I know what you mean, owners getting tarred with the same brush, but I've seen some pretty nasty 205 gti's. It doesn't stop me admiring a tastefully sorted one.
It's the type of buckle that should be the problem - as far as I know most, if not all twist to release buckles are not e-marked and therefore not road legal. There are plenty of buckles around that are e-marked though. All the ones I've seen have the standard red push-to-release button on them.
