update :
car booked into Awesome for Wed this week :
1. WALKit to be fitted (their first kit apparently!)
2. geometry check (they only do road or track settings)
3. basic car check
4. sort the  'flappy' engine checked out (dogbone fitted + maybe other eng mounts replaced/improved)

If all that goes OK then the way is cleared for some other 'toys'  :evil:

I expect a full and detailed write up by Thursday afternoon at the latest then.  :cool:

There is no stopping you once you get started is the.  :laugh:

....

As some of you already know, VWR have been setting up their demo car with suspension for me to drive and consider for my car. As part of that, we intend to fit the Whiteline Antilift Kit.

Something which I think is quite very important came up today in our discussion - As the Antilift kit on the rear of the wishbone has good quality polybushes integrated, it would be a very sensible idea to replace the OEM bushes on the front of the wishbone with good quality PTFE bushes to match the bush 'performance'.

Makes good sense, methinks :cool:

well , tbh I havent done enough miles to give a full report as yet.
But so far the indications are great , straight ahead position no difference , but on turn feels more positive.
But as ever the 'placebo' effect of a new mod cant be underestimated  :grin:
will report more after a few miles.

....But, if you agree it makes good sense, it's not too late to additionally replace the stock bushes.
