I'd check your front left/right ride heights. Preload both springs the same amount and then use the pushrods to fine tune the ride height
p.s. Set rear ride heights with rear spring perches. Make ALL corner weight adjustments with rear pushrods.

Steve at the factory said that Atoms are very sensitive to "old" tyres (probably because they are so light compared to normal cars?) so I agree that this is most likely your problem. The factory fitted Kumho Ecsta V70As to mine in the Summer - £600 all in - and I am very happy with them.
To be honest, if Steve and his motley crew has been anywhere near it then the car will be in great shape. Get the Khumo's if you can, there were completely transforming on my car. It's good to know that the car is in great shape, now you can push hard in the knowledge that it is safe!Nick C wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 10:24 am spoke to the Factory (Steve) very, very helpful...
turns out my car has been set up by them prior to me collecting it. also had a major service, complete spanner check and full alignment. hence the white paint marks on the push rods etc.
he did say old tyres or too many heat cycles, really effects the handling/grip levels.
he suggested new boots, and for me to lay around with the coilover setting to get a better balance.. avoid trail braking or unsettling the car.
all makes sense now.
I do have one yes, but it's mainly used to avoid driving into the back of slow driving old blokes in atoms...
Please dont!
