According to Scott, the spherical bearing top mounts sharpen the front end response up however, not having tried with just coilovers and oem mounts I can't compare. Trust Scott implicitly though having had many chats and calls with him, it's good to find someone who knows these cars inside out and doesn't want to rob your eyes out.
As it is now with the top mounts the reaction and the steering now feel razor sharp. Have never seen anyone so pedantic in getting the geo settings spot on, it's nice to see that attention to detail these days.
Ahhh, the spoiler. It's currently off the car having the fibreglass mounting points repaired, it didn't take a great deal to remove it....just a dark night, an automatic industrial steel door that tripped out before it went right up and, as you've mentioned, crappy reversing lights and no street lights!! The thing could have been much worse and the actual car could have been damaged as opposed to a fibreglass spoiler.
When it's remounted the fixing bolts will be bonded into it meaning the 4 mounting holes on the top can be filled. By the time it's repainted there will be no visible fixing points on show so it should look way better.
Future plans are the fitting of 2 piece brake discs front and rear ( will make no difference on the road but will look quite aggressive behind the wheels which will suit the way the car is going...it's all about looks isn't it? :smile: ), yellow callipers instead of the current red ones, a set of tubular manifolds, a pair of sport cats and a better collector box made to marry up to the new back box. Scott reckons with that sort of breathability when you put your foot down mid-range the will feel much sharper instead of just making more noise. Apparently the PH1 Vee is quite asthmatic!
