its a great bit of kit matey, I need to grow a bigger pair I think to get the best of it. Turn in has been the major improvement I have noticed, the car just wants to sniff the apex now with little effort!lol!
no no strap on it, guess that's something perhaps I should look into!
Cheers guys :-) she's been a labour of love for few years, loving actually being able to use her again, even for a quick pint on summers eve, can't upload a pic as my phone is basically s**t
as i'm tight I tend to trawl the classified for good used ones, just make sure the seller has checked the piston, sliders and bleed nipple are all free
I was dubious about them, but since first outing at Cadwell, the torque spread is much much improved over stock, was holding higher gears a lot more, third was used sparingly!
whats it the kids put now.......pfa?
Few more shots from the day
love slicks!!
and some small thumbs of the pro shots which I will buy soon :) shows the still evident body roll, hopefully the KW's will help with this!
cheers all

So, did Cadwell last Thursday, and after a shakey start (not a NS2-R fan it transpires) I had a cracking day.
Car performed pretty well, brakes were a bit of an issue and ended up changing to new RC6 pads at lunch, which half cured the issue but I think my fluid is past its best.

just read from start to finish, great that you have had it on track in several iterations already so get the benefit of changes felt from splashing cash on mods :smile:
PMS shifter and Roll Centre kit are two of my favourite mods, only ones that made equal (perhaps more of a) difference were...
depends on what you use the car far in all honesty, road use some brembo HC discs and ds2500 pads are more than sufficient and for rears i'd just go to RDP for Renault originals

Hit a stumbling block, I haven't managed to ease out the bolt holes in the KW V2's in time, and with only 2 days to go didn't want to leave the car in bits any longer
as such I have refitted the FK's for Cadwell. In some ways this may be a blessing in disguise as I can get a feel for each...
Fitted my new inner tie rods today and also got my KW V2 coilovers in that post, so I'll need to ease the bolt holes in them to fit the 172 bolts and get them on :-) this is as they are clio mk1 Williams fitment and the mk1 run smaller bolts.
Then I'll set my camber and track it, dial in a bit...
