Just book settings mate when at pod last time, I didnt even adjust the suspension height or dampening.
If its done I shall tweak a little so its set for 1/4s rather than set for shopping
Very wise move with the cambelt cover!..
I twatted all my valves on my cvh due to a plastic clip snapping and falling into the path of the belt when working on it.

Re: fiesta st170 turbo
Never had any issues like that mate, only if you acclerated hard then backed off abruptly the rear end wanted to get its freak on!.
Which is to be expected.
I did however up the poundage in springs before I fitted the ZT
Im on 350fronts and 500 rears which does make it handle loads better.
The rear bush defo wont be helping mate, if its slopping around.
