Thanks to you all for the different opinions, where is the nearest track with a good instructor, i live in lancashire. I do take on board the fact of having a lot more power and turbo than used to, so maybe start from the beginning wouldnt be such a bad idea.

I did a really good driving course around the Stowe circuit in silverstone. It's done by Audi and they fly over zee Germans as instructors and they were very good. Learnt how to control understeer as part of the day (turning back the opposite way you want to go to regain traction). Plus I got to abuse an RS4, S5 and TT. I'm on my phone at the moment so can't post a link but give Google a go if your interested.

I can recommend Don Palmer... http://www.donpalmer.co.uk/

One of the best in the UK for specialist training - in your car of theirs. He is quite pricey though!

Failing that, try http://www.driverdp.com/

I personally don't rate the manufacturers' own centres - they are fine for joe public.

As above some professional instruction will be more beneficial than of any tyres / performance mods.

Also, why do you guys buy the WALK when you can just fit powerflex poly bushes in the OEM mounts (which AFAIK) are OEM that have been anodised gold?

The walk adds + 0.5 degrees of caster and antilift, completly differant from pressing bushers in the oem mounts.
