Car is looking stunning mate, I want it back!!
I can't find those pictures from when I bought it, don't know where they are, if they crop up I'll post them!!
driver rider:
The mod's you've fitted are exactly what I'd love to do to my car. Im just worried about the ride quality as its a daily driver. Has it been affected massively by the improvements you've made. I don't want to alter the character of the car just improve road holding of the car and reduce the "lean" as you attack a corner
Why didn't you fit a front ARB if I may ask? I really like the look of your car it looks very nice.

in my eyes its far from stunning yet. Paintwork is the next thing now and needs a fair bit to get to my standard.

Dont know if your near cambs but your welcome to test it.
Its very slightly stiffer over bumps that standard. but today driving it to be honest it feels like ive already got used to it and didnt notice the extra stiffness.
I think the biggest difference is actually the WALK and the added traction and sure footedness. Its amazing. Car feels far more stable on hard acceleration both straight and around bends.
I didnt do the front ARB because i still wanted a little bit of front roll. From what I read and got from others... front ARB was really only of benefit for track days etc. The WALK up front has improved traction and front end hold round a bend.. no more feeling likes its about to let go and shoot you wide now.
The rear ARB is quite a subtle improvement but an improvement non the less and there is definitely less roll.
Very happy with the upgrade and apart from probably changing a few more of the OEM bushes in the future and MAYBE swapping to the Bilstein B8 dampers... I probably wont play with the suspension anymore now.
