New mod

Been a while but thought I would add some pics up of the car of how it sits now. Recently got the car back from RT's after having a small service, new windscreen & roof trims along with my KW V2 coilover kit with rose jointed front antiroll bar drop links fitted.
I must say the difference in handling and grip is immense, Russ set the camber to 1.5 degrees on the front as the car will mainly be used on the roads, though I'm looking at doing some track days at some point. Really pleased with the suspension it really wakes the car up and it's well up there with one of the bests mods I've done so far.

A few pics of how it sits.....

Thanks to Russ and team @ RT's for the work you've done, think I am going to go for another drive now although I think my tyres are starting to hate me....

Well I do have a little story behind that, I got the kit from JC Viggen which came off his 854 that he broke at a good price

In a strange way I'm slighty honoured to be your 1000th thanked person lol

**WOODY T5** · Wednesday 15th June 2011, 00:12

yea just ad a look on google not cheap

**LiamT4** · Wednesday 15th June 2011, 16:54

Very nice mate, always thought the s70r looks a bit "arse in the air", but not yours! lol

**The Flying Moose** · Wednesday 15th June 2011, 18:10

Looks brilliant, a really aggressive stance and as lee says its how all R's should look. Just a shame coilovers are so expensive.

What is the everyday ride like?

I've got the rebound rate set fairly low at the moment so the ride isn't to bad, if you make it to hard with the condition of our roads it does tend to skip & jump across the road under hard cornering.
