    Putting a decatted car through an MOT...

    sensors do'nt do anything to it.. the second one just tells you if your cat is in proper working order only the first sensor (before cat) , when broken, will get the engine in a sort of safe running mode and probably richen up the mixture to prevent lean running damage

    high-temp Gearbox Oil

    Correct .. you will prbably really notice the change straightaway after lowering , finding that the car does'nt drive right and you will want tracking done Mine was undriveable when lowered but it had stupid neg camber because of it coming down a fair bit

    Speedline 2020 mag.wheels for my non tracked Cup ?

    Nope, OZ superleggera are 6,4 for example But when looking at both i think the 2020 are a lot stronger constructionwise, and the looks of the 2020 are much nicer
