What suspension set up have you got and where did you ge it from?

Edit: I have just seen you have AST Sportline II, I don't suppose you could advise me what this kit is like compared to the BC ER series or the KW Vision 3? As these are the kits I'm looking at but have no way of comparing them...

Cheers,
Alistair.
I havent used the others bud so no idea how they compare. The AST's have been very good so far .

That's fair enough, didn't expect that, was worth a try though
How firm are they then, if it was a daily driver is it an acceptable ride comfort? I've heard good reviews for them. It's just an expensive item and I obviously want to make the right choice.

But like you've said, they've been good for you so far.

Obviously they are fully adjustable, I have them set about 3/4's and have been great

Morning Steve. I have only just seen this build thread. I cannot believe you have to part with this work of art so soon after the build. If i had the money and didnt have a wife and child......... Well, Who knows.

I used poor boys wheel sealant on my old Porsche wheels. And it was amazing stuff, I only put one coat on before winter and when I cleaned them after winter all the muck just came straight off with easy! Highly recommend.

Where did you get your ap brakes from?

Supplied by Will Pedley Racing, don't know where he sourced them as most places had a 6 week leadtime.
