As above - can you get suspension upgrades for a P1? I'm thinking of upgrade the wheels to 18's and want it to sit a little lowere anyway.

If so where can you get them from?

I don't believe there was an official mod for them, but if the warranty isn't and issue, then there are a myriad of mods available. Having said that, Prodrive are doing springs for the STi, so I wouldn't be surprised if they had something for the P1. Try contacting them.

There are a few P1s out there withs 18"s on standard suspension and they look fantastic I followed one down marlow bypass last week with Gold 18"s and it was very nice. The guy replied to a "was it you" Ask for pictures in members and I think you won't need/want to change the suspension.

P.s there are about 3 P1s around the marlow area on 18"s

List of things Power Station recommend include;

(Full free flow Exhaust ie new BB, centre section and downpipe)
Solid links in the rear suspension
Anti Lift kit for the Rear
Some stiffer roll arm for the rear (not sure exactly)

Total for the rear setup is about 250 plus vat, apparently helps loads for track days.

Guys

I fiited the Prodrive Professional Suspension kit to my P1 and still ran 18 inch wheels from new. The professional suspension is a big imnprovment, car is a little lower, better turn in and comes with an uprated anti-roll bar. I didn't fit the anti roll bar as I had already updated these via powerstation, front + rear and links etc.

It handles like a dream but I was sure to keep away from cobbled streets.

Cheers

Phil

Whats the solid links in rear suspension all about - I've noticed a slight noise that comes from the back of my car when I take foot off the throttle when doing about 30 odd mph - Any idea what it could be - sounds like a worn brake pads noise but isn't (cos i'm not braking at the time)
