As for “plush” I find the suspension pretty comfy and compliant compared to some other sporty cars like the Elise for example. 

Agree totally. My Elise was crashy and choppy and not inspiring to drive, whereas the Westie is really compliant and 'plush' ;)

Ok, that's fine. Was just trying to point out a different opinion, but if your way is the only way, go for it pal.

Haha chill Barny :d

As your experience shows, no real benefit in terms of performance going widetrack but for road use I think it’s is great. 

As for plush, my standard track was nicer than an Elise too!

You know me mate, always plush. No issue here, just useful to recognise the difference between advice and opinion.

Does anyone have data regarding turning circle with and without widetrack?

Without = pants

With = acceptable to good

Very good. I had been hoping to get the turning circles in metres.

I also went for the MSA roll bar and feel safer already even though my car is not built yet.  I also went for the limited slip diff option as this would be very difficult to change later.

I don't know how much room you have but there is the option that I have taken of leaving the body,dash and seats at the factory.

Are you getting panels,brake &fuel lines and wiring loom fitted? I went for this option as it seemed good value.
