youve obviously got the standard front antiroll bar up fron but do you notice a big differance cliff especially with 17''s on her??
the rear set up does look very tasty & i did think about it but a bit too expensive at the moment but most probably in the future tho
cheers for the replys

I have 17" Comp Mo's on there now and it still handles like a dream
You're right Gus I do need to get the rusty old front bit sorted out.
Those pics were taken before the clamps were refitted as they had to be made larger to fit over the front tension struts

It handles like a dream. Yes it is a bit bumpy sometimes but it makes such a difference to the feel of the drive.
It massively helps the launches at getting the times down
Never driven it without the clamps Gus. The whole car handles like a dream

What springs and damper rates are you running if you don't mind me asking?
I'm on near identical spec to yours and I'm not quite happy with it despite having it set up at Adreneline (made a massive difference).

I have Avo front coilovers on the front and the MEF Coilovers on the back.
No idea on what the rates are set at. It was done by Field Motorsport at the corner weighting session.
Isn't it amazing that you can actually make an rs turbo handle well

Ah. Ok mate. Cheers for the reply. It's getting better every time I do things to it. Just fancy trying stiffer springs and softer dampers. trying to reduce body roll in longer bends and make it follow bumps in the road instead of skipping all over the road.

Best time is about midnight!!
Plus you start going round bends on the wrong side of the road at silly speeds and it gets a bit dangerous!
I only drive mine at most for 2 hours a week!
