I bottled it. The three to four week lead time did it really and I picked up an Iphone SE. My old phone was too far gone to hold out.

So now you guys have been using these for a while whats the opinion? Worth it?. I broke my iphone 6 this morning. There are deals on the iphone 11 so they work out about 60% vs the cost of the 12. I've not paid for a new phone for a long time now so pressing the button on a top of the range...

Thats not strictly true. It really depends on the company making it and whether they make the changes to alter the cover internals to suit the car. Most likely its a semi-generic cover thats used on multiple applications and drilled to the correct fitment so it does not go through specific car...

dont be afraid to alter the exhaust tunnel and floor to get the seat low. I had to do this to my 205. We also put the cage main hoop back 6-7inches behind the normal position.

We've been doing a fair few of these recently and are the most popular coilover for us this year. Only good feedback so far so I wouldnt be too shy about purchasing Yellowspeed coilovers. If you want coilovers sub-£1000 these are I think the best option for mixed road and track

too low and the bump stops will not offer a good damping effect. I always found the b14’s on all the cars I’ve driven worked really well. I’d love to develop a mono tube replacement for the standard damper but the cost would mean no one would buy it

KW are twin tube. Bilstein are Monotube. The KW are great as a performance coilover but I've never got on with them myself as I prefer the finesse of high end monotubes over bumps.

KW springs have their spring rate on so have a look and we can compare those - but like for like the Bilstein will seem more compliant with the road as the monotube dampers can dampen a smaller piston movement than a twintube

Its probably to do with minimum weights for many. If the base car is light enough keep comfort as a comfortable driver will lap consistently. Modern control systems can probably turn off the aircon for acceleration so theres no risk of sapping a bit of power in parasitic losses

Its removing weight in the right place on the car. I think its worth doing if you do a few other complementary modifications too. Saying that - I'm still leaving powersteering and aircon in mine as I want a comfortable car to drive - not a racecar. lightweight race Seats are going though as the...

Theres not a definite answer. You need to measure the disc. if its nearly new then maybe. It will not be flat as the original disc and pad will have worn their own surface. When you put the new pads on they are going to have to wear to match the shape so they are going to feel terrible for few...

I think all of them go this route as it helps the bush to be fitted by hand rather than press in. Its also cheaper which will be the primary consideration :D

KW own ST suspension, AP Suspension. They use their own damper tech but its basically KW is their premium brand with stainless casings etc and the others get the cheaper versions of a similar design. You will find the twin tube technology they use as being reasonably good. Maybe a little bit...

H&R use Bilstein dampers to their own spec so I'm not sure how different in reality they are. As with any car. The lower the ride the more likely you will compress to a point you are sitting on the bumpstops which will worsten the ride.

I've fitted a few of the Bilstein B14 over the years and always found them to be very comfortable. They stop the original chassis role when cornering but soak bumps up well too. The rear spring rate is relatively soft compared to a track coilover so its not really designed for anything more than...

On it with another company lol. Chasing a new place every coffee break :D

They dont - back to the drawing board!

I'm just emailing a company about this at the moment as I'm trying to track down where a customer told me he got one from last year. I sadly deleted the facebook conversation as I never thought I'd want one myself. Will see what they say and report back...

Tainted with my dirty hands :D

And I can report that the new prototype took my car abuse without any issues! Was a doddle to fit with a light tap

Beaten to the punch. I was just going to say that customer emailed me this morning about his findings.

Always get a second quote :D

I personally think these engines need a centre silencer unless you want to be noticed. A sporty sound does not have to give nose bleeds

As Hollidog says. Max the caster and I'd say about 2 degrees of camber will be enough for a starting point. Do you have slotted holes on the dampers?

They dont give out numbers. I'd say you are best using a local exhaust place to repair it. It will be quicker and less painful

I'm on the wrong forum lol

Theres no hype. They are a bit better than DS2500 but they are not marketed as a race pad for good reason. Its not what they are for. They are bridging tool to allow a car to be driven on road and then straight on a trackday. If you drive hard enough on track then an endurance pad compound will...

Due to their material I tend to avoid recommending CL Brakes for a road car. its going to be quite easy to jump to a full race pad so maybe see how you get on with temperatures. For track make sure you have really good fluid as its combined with the clutch system. I've got customers with track...

If you are out for enjoyment and can keep the brake temps down the best all rounder I've found for the moment at a reasonable price is the PFC Z rated. Its a little better than the Ferodo DS2500. At the rear the PBS protrack work well with them. Thats probably where I would start. It a fast car...

Did you decide on brake pads? Theres basically two schools of thought. You fit pads for the road and try to keep them cool on track, or do the opposite and put up with the downsides of race pads used daily to the shops.
