I've read some threads about 480 handling problems, primarily that the handling becomes sloppy and lazy as bushes wear. Mine is the opposite; the turn in is ferocious and it almost feels like a mid-engined car in that it pivots around the middle and seems to want to slide, but it never does.
It isn't a problem and feels quite 205gti like, which is a good thing, it just makes fast drives on windy country roads a bit less relaxing than I was expecting.
How should a 480 handle?

Upon reflection, it could be rear tyres which are the famous "Kingstar" make.
Changing the fronts for Goodyear F1s transformed the car, so I think I'll start with some new rear boots.
Is there any documented evidence of Lotus involvement in the suspension? Or are they, like everyone else involved with the 480, denied all knowledge of it?
