How long roughly is the route back to Leek expected to take?

If I can breathe I'll come for a bit.

Rear camber adjustment is useful either from lower arms or upper camber bushes.

Thank you! I live in speed bump central and can cope with most of them now. The 40mm lowering and slightly higher profile tyre definitely seems a good mix for daily use. If you come to the mids meet you're welcome to a good nosey! 😊

I'm now about 40mm down from the about 50mm I was before but I've gone with a 235/45/17 tyres which is larger than stock by 9mm so fills more of the arch gap and gives a good ride in combination with the flex a's. Only the absolute monster bumps are an issue now but it still removes the nasty arch gap.

Still can't decide on which to go for although I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to the Gruppe-S or the ACE now.

That's the one.

No worries. In terms of the SPC arms I saw a few people in the track group reporting problems with them and suggesting the bushes with stock arms was better. The problems were with the gen 1 version though I think.

Cheers. I've just dug out the invoice - Blink Motorsport charged £120 including the VAT for the upper rear camber bushes installation - it is a fairly involved job.

To be honest I've never really noticed this as an issue with the stock, the previous one or this one so I'm not much help there I'm afraid!

They do help lift the cabin.

Alcantara binnacle cover and dash panels fitted. My old binnacle cover had faded quite badly. Thanks to @AJ124

They're 18's @Ade

Saturday ideally for me or Friday if it had to be. Unless it's in a school holiday then pretty much whenever.

Depending on when I'd be up for this.

Nice pictures @will300 😊

Fensport's car? They're summit braces.

I wouldn't want to take the risk of having the rear screen removed myself. Too much potential for problems imho.

@Mark-in-Stoke is probably the man to have a chat with on this

I fitted adjustable ones yes. It's not necessary as such but it does allow you to set the arb preload properly. Also the stock ones can be a nightmare to remove.

Definitely made a lot of noise on mine when it was first fitted. I remember getting out of the car on the cat and fiddle thinking something was broken!

Will do 👍
