The Lotus is very sensitive to tire and alignment changes. Im guessing your problem is coming from 3 areas.

1. Tires - stick with something that is known to work. A046, R888, Hoosier or RA1. I know for a fact that some of the street tires can make the car feel wacky on track.

2. Alignment - Make sure your shop knows how to align a lotus. Even a VERY small change in toe can make the car feel horrible and scary to drive.

3. Suspension - Find out the settings that other people are running on their Suspension and use that as a starting point.
