H&R progressive rate springs are awesome. I've found since doing my alignment and dialing in some negative camber it turns in a lot better, but the back end seems to stay nice and stiff... looking forward to the skid pan in a couple of weeks so I can push it, and then hopefully look at pics and video's of how it handles...

I've found the back end a little bit more loose lately too, neutral toe ftw!

Hopefully you find the same result Dave. Sorry I can't make it to take pics tomorrow

Opinions?
Looking Better?

I Freekin Love the new setup.

So the car now drives and tracks a whole lot better on the road compared to what the stock springs did.
I think its now a whole lot closer to being the car that Ive always wanted it to be.

The progressive rate H&R's are inviting me to push alot harder as the body roll mid corner has now all but disappeared. Ive also found the back of the car now feels alot more planted and i dont feel the back "skipping" as i roll on the power hard out of corners.

Im booking in this week for the up coming No limits night. Im super excited about pushing the car hard and see how it reacts.

Asthetically, the car is now about where i want it to be. The mix of colours ( Silver, Black or CF ) is really working for me.
Just awaiting the new cat back exhaust and it should be all finished for the time being.

Mods list now looks a little like this.

Engine:
Stock.

Suspension + Bracing:
H&R progressive rate lowered springs
Cusco front strut brace
Ultrex rear strut brace
24mm Whiteline adjustable rear swaybar with Heavy Duty End Links and HD Mounting Kit
22mm Whiteline adjustable front swaybar
Whiteline Anti Lift Kit
H&R rear camber bolts
Cusco brake stopper

Brakes:
QFM A1RM pads front
Bendix something somethings rear
solid discs front and rear

Exterior:

Ultrex Front lip
Clear indicators
CF Sticker for reflector delete.
De-Flapped
18" Rota Torque Time Attack Rims

Plans - Wheel Alignment this weekend hopefully then No limits and a New PB :-D
Will also need to investigate new brake discs after this meet. the rears are shagged.
Cheers for looking!

Looks sweet Dave!!

Nice stance and good to see you pulled off the majority of your stickers - it looks a lot cleaner.
