Question Standard S1 Setup any good?

I was wondering whether anybody out there is just running their cat S1 as it came straight out of the box? I'm still fairly new to all this, and am not one for messing about lots with setups....

Would the factory setup be considered an easy one to drive or are their a few minor changes to make to make the car 'softer'? I'll be mainly using it at EPR (high grip astro) and have seen what some of the team drivers are doing to their cars.... I have the right springs for the track, but noticed a lot of people are favouring higher weight oils and drilling pistons / messing with diaphragms etc.... is that necessary to get the car to handle nicely for a beginner or am I best to leave it as it is?

Likewise with different caster blocks, shorter ballends, adjusting rake etc etc.. is this all fine tuning for the big boys and am I best to leave it alone for now and just learn to drive it as standard?

Last question - what shock oils did the S1 come with?

Cheers
