Interesting to hear you say that Abdul. I haven't noticed that but have noticed that they seem harsher when it's cold, which might mean the same thing ie. when the oil warms up, they become more...

As Jardon, I also have BC BR coilovers.

Overall, ride quality is better, in terms of handling, the car simply feels newer as it corners with a sophistication that was lacking in the standard...

Guys,

Just make sure the seals are ok on the calipers as some aren't designed to take a life of salt on public roads.

If you come across Gosdpeed, avoid - the bloke was an absolute nightmare...

Olive Green 850R auto

4 owners

pic at some point!

lol! I had them on a 9000 too with the usual Abbott springs.

Sounds like the FK ones are ok then, certainly a decent price but I would probably be inclined to pay a bit more for something with...

Oh, I've had Koni Yellows on a previous car (Saab) and thought they were average to say the least - the damping adjusters also became very hard to turn after about a year and the adjustment itself...

I have the BR series BC coilovers on mine which were on the T5D5 group buy.

The rear springs were too short but they sent another set through and well happy with them. A good ride/handling...

I have most of the bits and it's a large list.

Drop Dooby a line or look at his thread on VOC as it's a step by step guide. He did his over a weekend, also had a donor car. Sone bits you need to...

Or just phone Rufe.

Are you sire that the R one is any different to the T5?

It's hard to overstate the difference decent suspension upgrades make to the 850 along with a suspension refresh. People tend to do power upgrades first but do think about suspension and brakes as...

I'm no fan of auto's and don't particularly like the auto in my R - auto was a necessity 3 years ago. Having driven a manual, I personally much prefer it which is why I have a manual box sitting in...

Ah! I'd heard stories about bigger injectors, good news for those into modifying who don't want to get ripped off at the pumps.

Fair enough but both those people have experience of the 302 upgrade and of more powerful upgrades and in their view it doesn't make a lot of difference. I don't have experience of them so totally...

Ah! Very impressive the new building.

We go to Swanage quite often (Lakes when we have more time) but have never taken my bike as I couldn't see that many trails and tend to go to Wales for riding...

I know the history, but like I said more than one unrelated person has said don't waste your money and these are people who are well respected on forums and have a lot of knowledge/experience so I'd...

I've been told by more than one person that 302's are a total waste of money unless you track your car.

As I've had red Brembo's before and driven cars with AP's, I'd say AP's all day long -...

Went to Toms Field in Lancton Matravers.

For reasons unbeknown to me, we didn't go to the Square and Compass (actually I do know - ten pints and no food is a bad thing!), but had a great walk (14...

Also Pagid RS range (have 14's on the Eise) or Carbon Lorraines.

Cool - you'll be on or close to the limit with the standard LPG injectors mind!

I've been camping in Dorset this weekend!

Very much doubt it's a dud, it's just all relative. I had a modified Saab 9000 Aero and that always felt quicker as it delivered a slug of torque low...

I think a lot of people don't have a clue about LPG, also many people who slag it off as a bit of an unknown and also badly setup systems can be a nightmare.

For me, I do 20,000+ miles a year so...

I think you are best off asking the opinion of your garage tbh.

Mine makes a horrible noise when manouvering from stationary on grippy surfaces. After replacing all the suspension and the power...

I had exactly this on the LPG system, it stuttered horribly at higher rpm. Took a year for them to suss it.

Really? I've never found mine particularly rapid and the boost gauge goes well beyond the max, it is an auto mind.

Maybe I'm just used to much faster cars. Previous Lotus was 0-60 in 3.7s and...
