I, and a few others, have here in CH. Did you go for Variant 3? And have you tried it on track yet?

Not tried it on a track and not sure which variant I have as I left it to my friendly dealer to sort out after my disaster with eibachs.

I live near the black forest and we have some relly cool winding roads here the geometry is not set up but it is so much better at cornering and sharp turns, I love throwing it 180 deg in the office car park and seeing if it slides etc.

Was in the Black Forest last summer, one day.
Loved the winding roads
They wound so much they didn't bear any relation to the map I was using[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Steve.
They cost £1157 inc vat to buy and are being fitted by Powerstation.Cost for the fitting is complicated so cant go into it.
If they are as good as I am told then they should be a treat.
Cheers Paul.

£1157 !!!!! **** me that is expensive I had mine supplied and fitted for €1200, my Subaru dealer is a supplier for these and it looks like whoever you bought them off is laughing all the way to the bank. Maybe I should set up a supply chain for these things.
Let me know what you think of them, I think mine are excellent.

Steve,

List price on the website for the variant 3 is 1600 euro - I think you got a very good deal! Does your dealer friend have any in stock?
