My Larini SE has been reasonably stable, a bit of sag, but not touching the lower grille aperature. I have a Euro style stock diffuser on order, I'll give it another adjustment then. I usually support the tips (pointed slightly upward) with a floor jack, the tighten the clamp.

Being my fun car, I work on it without fear. I won't touch my wife's Mini or my Dodge truck - if I bugger one of those up, we're out of business. Bugger up the Lotus, life goes on until I can have it sorted out. I've changed the oil, installed the Larini, installed the LETSLA shift linkage and will probably change the rotors out with the pads next time.

All this is a walk in the park compared to my old 66 Jaguar E-type.
