I have heard they can be a bitch to drive...granted I am on about 90% ones but 40% must surely make a difference?

Mate, ATB's Are the Dogs!!!
I had one on my Nova and put it into the centre of a roundabout within 10mins of fitting it  But that was just because I was being Silly.
My mates XE Corsa was running one and its simply Awesome!!! The faster you accelerate around a corner the more the car pulls itself in rather than understeering. Takes a while to get used to.... But once you do WOW!!! I've just brought one for my Turbo's Corsa.
Honestly their worth their weight in gold! 
(And no I don't work for Quaife lol)

agreed
neil, i take it you didnt get the warning about never let off the throttle if your going round a corner then?????
it kicks the back end out if your hammering it into a bend and back off

Haha, Yep!
Thats Exactly what happened.... I thought i'd try it out straight away without getting used to it. Backed off mid corner (Big mistake!) I learn't the hard way.
But they are very good. (Just go out for a drive in the Focus RS for proof!)

When I drove brosters, I nearly crashed into the inside of the curve, totally took me by surprise. When I'd been round a few corners, it amazed me with the amount of grip. Awesome.

I've heard people say they're 'snatchy'. But I have no idea what they mean as I have nothing to compare it to(i.e. a fancy diff like lucky b had)

They can sort of pull you about if the road is lumpy/off camber, but only in low gears, at full throttle, in my experience.

or in high gears at high speeds say one wheel hits a bump and starts to spin, pulls you all over the place. ive had this happen whilst off the clock action was occurring. i pooped myself.
