    Would certainly be interesting to see how yours compares - mine now having bilsteins with H&R's also.

      Error, yeah I got the 034 track density ones, had a thread a week or so about it, got them through Joe @ Axis. Just need to uprate the subframe and wishbone bushes at some point to ally and superflex, all my stuff is new though so will wait for it to wear a bit first.

      Sonic, I think your car is about the same as mine is now in terms of performance but I never wanted HnRs whilst it was a daily driver. Your car is a LOT cleaner though and you have the later spec interior along with lower mileage (mine's 165k now). If mine was as neat and tidy I don't think I'd be going down this route but after 4 years rebuilding and subtly modifying I've finally lost my inhibition and want something that is brutal rather than subtle. Be nice to KWs on it but money money money... The multi coloured white paint, the odd light scuff and a spot of rust means that it's the right time to take mine to the next level where looks come second. No need for RS2 kit if I can strip 100kg out, performance was improved and I hope dyanmics will also be better when it's all setup and on the track tyres that are sat in the shed also 300bhp, 100kg lighter, lower, stiffer, louder, more focussed and sharper. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

          thought it was closer to a daftpunk song?

          Btw andy, how you going to cope with it now after you said you put your back out before driving the car iirc with your old seats at combe. The new seats any better?

          I did my back in recently at work and noticed that its not too bad but prolonged times in a lowered car have brought back the twinges

            Yeah, I put my back out cos I had to slouch to fit in with a helmut on. The Recaro Speed is awesone, sits 1" lower and has loads of support, even with the car slopping about on stock springs. I want more though, hence going for the Pole Position whilst also enabling me to keep the 3 point belt for ease of use on the road. The only downside is that the rear visibility is affeted by the high back of the seat and the S2 mirrors aren't good enough to compensate.

                Closed the poll, if I had my way I would ban polls that do not have a expiry date from the forum but that's up to Sonic
