Ok, I read that wrong, sorry about that. Adding agression to the cut stagger setup shouldn't be too hard. Does the car have too little steering altogether or is it in a certain part of the corner (turn-in, mid-corner, on power out of corners)? Or is it really sharpness you're missing?
There are loads of things you can try. My suggestions:
- Try the difference between cut staggers and low profile cut staggers. The low profile one should feel sharper because the tire doesn't deform as much, but will probably provide less grip.
- A lesser caster angle (for example 25 or even 20 degrees): Less caster to me felt like the car had less agressive turn-in. 20 degrees made the front end less predictable and sharp than I like, but less caster had more steering altogether (the steering builds up a bit, and eventually it's higher).
- Try a more upright rear shock position. I haven't got experience with this on the 210, but the same principles should apply: It will remove some rear sideways grip as the shocks will try to resist the initial roll on turn-in - it might increase chances of oversteer on wood, but it's worth a shot as on high grip, the looser rear end may unlock more steering and may even enable you to throw the car around in a tighter line. Doing the opposite to the front end instead of this should give a milder effect: It will make the front end roll more on turn-in, loading the outside front wheel and increasing steering.
Also, when making your setup, keep an eye on the cut staggers... I'm not sure how much bite you'll lose if the ribs' edges wear off.
