Degrees, minutes, seconds - Measurements of angles - Suspension and steering are measured in these and would have been on the geometry gauges you used to set your car up with as I guess you set it up rather than get the local tyre centre to do it!

Tyre pressures are all 18 psi
Runs fine, a lot steadier on the road now.

I was probably lucky Adrian, i set mine up by spirit level and tape and get a very good ride out of it. Can take a bit of setting up the Roadster but everybody who has been out in mine has always commented on how good a ride it is.

Mine has been upto 125mph and still gives the confidence to go past that, but ran out of road.....
