Which shocks did you fit?
Nitron shocks, 15% stiffer springs, lowered by about 1/2", and they're adjustable damping and rebound (soft on the way to the track, hard for actual track work £1000), thats the theory. couple these with the poly bushes and the car is so different, much more planted, does what you ask it too instead of the other way round, 30% better handling i'd say. Brakes are AP racing 4 pot (the ones off the cerby) with brackets to allow 320mm seperate hub discs (£1200), ebc green stuff pads, there is only 1/2" - 1" of travel in the pedal before the wheels will lock up, the bite is incredible and no more fade, although i've only had them on the road so far, doing a Track day Tue, so i'll post some more info. Cheers guys, Nik
