hello welcome to the club

well handling really... you can go so much faster if you never have to brake / slow for corners, improves mpg as well lol!

I want speedline turinis in anthracite as these wheels are not to my liking at all, then will colour code the arches, mirror caps and headlight rings. Probably get my gp arch lights wired up and grafted in as well.

Next up, I have a set of Koni Yellows on the way which will be installed with some of those superflex bushes you have on the front wishbone. I will see how the car handles with this lot and perhaps put a 19mm bar on the back if i want more agressive turn in.

After that it will be the JCW brake upgrade, not sure on the 4pots as it might add too much weight (bigger disc and all that), the 294mm should be more than enough really (tested on an 08 plate S), but then can you ever have enough braking.

If the handling is still pants then will probably sell the eibachs and konis and go jcw suspension. Coilovers for the road is not for me... you can make much better progression on the compromised roads here with lots of damper travel and a sensible ride height.

Some nice ideas mate

Have you got the US style aero kit then? Do they come with the lights in place and you just have to connect them up? I presume it will need splicing the wire from the side lights if thats how it works?

Sounds like your car will handle pretty sweet!!

yea going to get them cut and bonded into place.

they already come with the bulbs in place and have the wiring loom kindly donated for free from another forum member.

Im getting a US style aero kit tommorow so am hoping that Im going to be able to connect up the lights to illuminate the arch reflectors - any ideas if it works for the rears too?
