I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Are you going 195/45 or 205/40?
Hows the clearance on rear coil over adjuster nuts? Mine don’t with ET 35 albeit with 15”
I’m looking at 16” wheels so it will be good to see yours done.

Rear discs space the rears out around 5mm I think 👍🏼

Well I dragged the car home today ..got the wheels changed over to the 16s now fitted with 205/45/16 michelin pilot sport 3s. I've not fitted the centre caps yet or played with the suspension.. but I managed to get black wheel weights , black wheel nuts , and small black TR412 valves .
Ended up giving it a really good clean , nice to see the protection I put on the paintwork is doing a mega job still 6 months on.. also went out in the last hours of the nice sun and cool air.. 40 miles round the twisties up here coupled with me not driving the car since november got the heart racing and had to switch on..boy this car is fast for a CVH 😳

Little walk round of car cleaned before I went out bedding the wheels in , thank god no catching now and the car drives so much nicer. It feels like I have power steering ..will need a good TC trim come summer as it started to wheel spin slightly and a slight torque steer on boost hard ,

Went out setting the coil overs up today , wound the rears down and softened the front down slightly , its now comfy than Ford made it and smoother yet corners way better ..really happy its now a seat you want to be in and its drives so nice as just a car at cruise.. racked up another 90mile , car never misses a beat .. really fell in love with it again ..its ace on fuel and drives so smooth thanks to the mapping and ECU work ..now I will happily do a long road trip .

Been out today. Whilst out I put the rears +2 and front -1 . Car felt nice in the bends but got some body roll so time for front and rear strut braces to be fitted . Also I need to get this front ARB squared away with MK Motorsport so I can set my Geometry and not run tyres off , so for now car is off road whilst I address these problems...other than that we managed to say bye to a c63 AmG up the Buckley bypass 😎 No issues with traction .

Brought the car home for 1 night last night and decided to give her a clean and hoover as I was taking her to work today then dropping it off at MJV for my front strut brace adapted to fit ..a few pics along the way .
New modded strut brace ready for welding up , then will be taken off and sent for powder coating same as the rocker cover .
