At standard height they are very predictable and controllable I think, which explains your experience compared with Matts!
The instablity Matt describes is bump steer from being low I reckon.
Had mine lowered at the weekend, takes corners faster but is thrown out of line easier and is as a result, a little less predictable. Standard set up wins for road IMO!
Definatly agree. It's about 60mm lowered and so has little to no dampening from the shocks.
When you hit a bump the shocks can't react quick enough and so your "chucked" to somewhere your not always expecting.
I would have liked it to be probably 10 to 20 mm higher but can't be arsed to get it raised at the min...
