You really need to get a ride (ideally a drive) in a car with the suspension options you're looking at. It is, at the end of the day a very personal thing. Re. R888's, imo they are not more fun than any decent road tyre. Trade of for the extra grip is less throttle adjustability (brilliant with...

I have to agree. End of the day you'll have the same contact patch, bigger brakes won't make the tyres grippier when braking.

Fair enough, but I can only go on what I've driven, no? And I go by past history when considering these things. Am I going to put a grand (minimum) in a company that has conducted themselves in this way before? The setup was only one aspect, the broken adjuster collars, and seized damping...

He'll be talking about the front. Need shims/spacers for the rear's.

I'll give my opinion based on what I have owned. Thankfully bigger firms (KW, Bilstein, H&R) don't use paying customers to refine a poorly developed product. Or wait for known weaknesses to break, rather than contacting customers before the breakages occur. I've had the decency not to question...

KW's then. Massively, hugely better than the AST's I had. The AST's were hugely firm, no roll. So although it initially felt good, once on track it understeered. On the road, the ride was terrible (even on the softest setting). They tend to me most fun (ie adjustable and tail happy) with a soft...

What do you want? Fun or ultimate lap times? If it's fun, well set-up coilovers are worth it imo. If it's lap times, buy another car lol.

That's true in some respects, but imo, the added adjustability can make the car more fun (if setup correctly). But won't really be any quicker.

Buy 10. Problem solved. Low tyre costs for 2 years.

I've owned KW's, AST's, H&R's. For me, road and track use KW>H&R>AST Combine it with a whiteline adjustable ARB and it'll handle/ride superbly.

Bear in mind you don't definitely have cup suspension, I've seen a few non-cup pack cars running around with the anthracite wheels. Only way to be sure is to measure the hub bolt spacing.

Looking at that pic, looks like you have both cup packs (cup suspension and spoilers).

Ferry. Or you can use the heavy goods section on the chunnel, iirc has a lower entry lip.

I said v12's. Not rs2's. Can you not hear me down there? I agree re. grip, hence me never using R888's these days.

Get rid of the stripes, aero thingy black, ditto mirrors and side grills. You'll then have the best looking Gordini in the country. Ps. Heard you were at BTM, like my new car;)

Does the car you've bought have cup packs? If so, it's mechanically identical to a cup. Identical.

For bugger all extra could of got Hankook V12's. Genuinely sad state of affairs.

The cup has different trim, but mechanically is the same as a 182 with both cup packs.

Birmingham. Hop on the canals, straight to dover, done.

They only cost thousands if something major breaks. Even then, cheaper than changing cars every 3yrs.

Mr T style. Or dose them before you leave home. And leave them.

Women ruin everything. Hence why mine's not invited.

http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m53b0s99p15202 £4.50 per corner more than the Toyo's, but vastly superior. Especially in wet conditions.

Ferry every time. After a few hours drive down to dover, followed by a few more hours driving in France, the break on a ferry is nice. Sit down, have some food, a bit of shut eye. Sack sitting in a metal toob.

Remove the spoiler, and the tits and it's awesome.

2118's are f**king shite, c**t sheep wheel. "I've just a great idea. Lets add some f**king unsprung weight to my pretend-track car" Dave's got the right idea. Apart from the tyres. The tyres are s**t.

Bar the tyres, that's fantastic.

You'd be very silly to take it to one of these generic superchip places. Very silly.

The recaro's are ace. On a 182 it's a no-brainer, as the standard driving position is woeful. On the 200, the standard seats are very supportive, even for track use. So the Recaro's are a luxury. An £800 luxury that wears through on the bolsters. If they were the same finish as Trophy...

Because they don't?
