I also am in two minds. I much prefer the almost single seater feel of the Mk1 steering but the Mk.2 which has similar geometry to that resulting from the comfort kit, is definitely lazy feeling in comparison. My thinking was to go for the comfort kit but Blockley tyres to sharpen it up again. My original Avons are near end of life anyway, as my house is at the top of a 6km road with around 15 hairpin bends on it and lots of other bends as well. Heavy on front tyres. It is nice to be wearing out cheap 4.50 x 19's rather than 235/35 x 19's on the front of my other car.
Tyre prices have come down amazingly over the last few years. I have just bought a new pair of rears for my normal car, which are 305/30 x 19. When I first got it in 2007, the rears were £350 each. They are now down to £190 each.
