Nice car you've got there Kieran :thumbsup:

I would agree with the guys too. I run coilovers, rear strut brace (the right way up!) Floflex bushes and standard size brakes/drums and it is more than adequate for now. I did a track day recently around Cadwell park and it did fine, good enough to annoy a guy in a Porsche 944 anyhow
