Take alot of your weight out of the front. I run 21g on top of the servo and 21g on the antisquat plate and thats it. More entry steering = move top of rear shocks out, more mid-exit = move upper front shocks out, lower front oil weight slightly, raise rear oil weight slightly

I run 24mm F&R ride height religously and check it every run, eyeballing simply doesnt cut it

Lots of things to try to get the feel your after

From Elvos guide ......

Lowering one end of the car, or putting the other end higher up, gives a little more grip at the lowest end, but try to avoid big differences in ride height between the front and the rear.

Is yours a typo or not ?

Also, people have mentioned lengthening the wheelbase to increase steering. I thought short wheelbase meant more nimble, better through tight slow turns and hairpins which is what Worksop is primarliy about and where the car is lacking grip.

Whilst im not saying im right and others are wrong i cant get my head around the logic of some of these suggestions. Im crap at setup and i appreciate the input but need accurate info.

I also cant get my head around how removing weight from over the front axle will increase the front end grip at low speed. If you exaggerate it and say put a bag of sugar over the front axle then im sure you wouldnt be lacking front end low speed steering thats all.

Instinct says short wheelbase, more weight over front axle - i thought that was the idea of the brass bulkheads from the likes of Trish.
