Yesterday I went up to GT101 at Colchester to have the suspension upgraded with the Pedders coil over kit that they have recently discussed in other posts. They also lowered the car by around 20mm and put in 25mm spacers to push the wheels out - thus the wheels now fill the arches and the stance of the car is much improved.

Dave and Lee were great to talk with and the new suspension has transformed the feel of the car :headbang: Thanks Guys!.... and yes I may well be back for the header tank that you showed me :D

Before the upgrade, I always felt that the steering was a bit loose and struggling to turn in; now what a change - much more grip and positive turn in. A real transformation to the handling of the car :thumbsup:

Update: geometry settings:
Front toe 0.03' (Total 0.06')
Front camber - 1.4' deg

Rear Toe 0.05' (Total 0.10')
Rear camber -2.15' deg

Still having problems sharing the photos :(

Parts laid out ready to install:


Front and rear suspension before upgrade:


And afterwards:


More importantly, the GT :D

Once you get your photos sorted (photo bucket?), can you post the geometry they dialled in, be interesting to compare, yours, Gibbo's and mine ;)
