It's time for an OVERHAUL!!!!
 
Not quite, but will feel like it. Getting 22" adj rear ARB and alloy drops, ALK, prodrive springs, (plus 4 wheel geo), goodridge brake lines and Motul 5.1 fluid all plumbed in next week. Oh and service with Silkolene fully synth thanks to OilMan.

I am guessing this is gonna be like having a totally different car. Anyone done a similar package upgrade all at once on a similar car to mine? Wondering what to expect.

Downside is the front boots could do with replacing as they are under 3mm (but still leagal) so I guess I'm going to lose a lot of the new found extra grip. Depends if next month's brass will stretch to them or not :(

My model doesn't need droplinks. I did the rear ARB, ALK & geom at the same time down at powerstation. It really did make a difference.

I'm putting a sign on my head for saying this, but the car felt quicker. I think it's purely because of the lack of pitch and dive.

Corner don't exist though. :thumb:

I've done the rest of the other mods you've done, but uprated the pads. That did improve the brake feel no end.

I can't wait to get it done and have a play :norty:

When you say uprated that pads...to what? Aren't the DS2500 I have pretty good?

Yeah they are, didn't know you had them as they were not in your mod list.

A well worth mod route with those you've chosen, enjoy!

Sorry - thought you had 'viewed my Scooby' when you said the other mods I had. Pads and discs done last year although braking doesn't feel as good as the standard ones :freak3: Hoping lines and 5.1 help.
