I was running the standard 2 hole 1.5 front piston and 2 hole 1.7 rear. Unfortunately I didn't have wet tyres and only had a choice of Schumacher yellow or blue spikes, as the yellows had 2 rows cut off the front I opted to run the blues all round however for the weekend I will have ballistic greens. I struggled with turn in so also removed the front arb and my shocks out on the arms and to the most inner hole on the towers. Diffs were 7k, 100k, 5k. Felt okay and was able to drive it however still lacked turn in, wondered if anyone else more experienced could off some pointers for setting the car up in these coconditions.
Thanks

So much to do!
You shouldn't be running 2x1.5 in front they should be 2x1.6
For wet grass I'd be doing most of the below:-
Ballistic whites or Schumacher greens
Shorter front top deck link
25-27.5w in rear black
30-32.5w in front white front spring anything around a low 3.0 rate
Ride height lifted 22mm all round
Bigger wing
Short/medium wheelbase
Remove cab forward shell and use old b44 shell (I have 4 shells for dif tracks)
Inner on front tower (less turn in)
Inner on rear tower (more side bite)
Stiff front insert always
Medium rear insert always
Vts slipper in
3000w in rear
5000w in front
