For corner weighting you want the arse end lower, although i find with that teh front is far to under steary

I like a tad lower front end than back - I like feeling the little twitch when you know its telling you off.. when its flat I find it can catch you out - doesn't quite tell me what I want to know...

Depends entirely on what you like I suppose

on my hybird the way my coilovers are setup, i have the rear ever so slightly lower than the front, to dial out some nasty lift-off oversteer, meaning i can hussle the car round corners better now.

each to their own imo, and each and every car is different.

i feel with a stripped clio you need a touch of understeer dialled in for my driving style, otherwise the tail end is far too happy to step out - prob coz there is no weight in the rear and loads in the front!

I was reffering to just dropping it on springs alone.

I would imagine - although not sure - that the racers would have a completely different geometry set up, with quite a lot stiffer ARB's, springs and adjustable dampers...

Yep....plus they're only driven on (mostly very smooth) race circuits.
