Hi Alex, and Arif,

Thanks, both, for asking.

Car is booked in with Litchfield on March 11th for Stage One of the upgrade.

Shorter KW springs. Dropping the rear by 10mm and the front by 20mm. 7mm spacers all around. New suspension bushes. From reading numerous reviews, I think this will noticeably enhance the handling, steering and feel of the car. I think the stance will be a bit closer to the GT3.

I’m going to have to save some pennies for Stages Two and Three (ECU remap and improved exhaust system)!

Contacted my insurer. The handling upgrades won’t affect my premium, but the other work would lead to a 15% premium increase, do to the big hike in horsepower (from 365bhp to about 480bhp).

Cheers
Simon
