Well what a coincidence , I have just done close to 100 laps of Snetterton today on an all day trackday. My suspension isn't standard so can't really comment how the standard dampers are on track but for sure you will want uprated stoppers and consider carefully also what tyres you use. I have...

Hey Dan , yes very happy thanks:) thanks for your attention yesterday and I will let you know how I get on at Snetterton. Yep those Yoko tyres transform the look for sure.

Well had a great drive back , the car now actually goes round corners !!! Feels pretty amazing TBH with virtually no roll , and simply amazing agility as mentioned above it does feel pretty stiff but acceptable. The brakes feel super strong , a little squeaky in town but again acceptable for...

Ha ha , when I got it it had Sachs on the back , Halfords on the front and four different branded cheap chinese tyres too. Hmmmm nice.

Well guys some of you might remember that when I got the car the previous owner had removed the front Sachs shocks and just fitted halfords jobs:rolleyes: So I was forced into doing something and as it is only my track toy it made sense to go for a fully adjustable set.

Well eventually I have gotten round to fitting my new Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 tyres to go alongside the K-Tec exhaust and induction kit already fitted. So on Thursday I am paying a visit to Dan at 519 Automotive to sort suspension and brakes. On the list is a set of Spax RSX fully adjustable...

Anyone running Pagid discs and Mintex M1155 pads ??

Cutting holes in it , wow that's dedication:D Well I aim to have it ready by March ideally as obviously need to make mu mind up which setup to go for yet.

lol , thanks Kelv. Well I bought the Trophy for track use and do around 6-8 trackdays a year. My original idea was to spend up to £2000-2500 max on the required mods and have so far fitted the K-Tec Sports exhaust and induction , had a new cambelt kit , Aux tensioner and belt and had a service...

Thanks Kelv for the info on the AST's , I spoke to Curtis today and got a quote for them and I suppose they were the price I imagined but they are twice the price of a set of Spax RSX or KW variant 2's for instance and I am going to have to think long and hard whether thats a wise investment...

Hmm , thats a shame about the service when it's such a great piece of equipment. Although for me it will be a one off fitment so hopefully should be ok.

Hi Kelv , ahhhh that would be great , look forward to reading your views on them. Cheers

Yes I had read about the H&R , K-Tec say to wait for the Nitron dampers they are developing if not they say that the Spax RSX setup is excellent as well. The reason for asking about AST is I note that a lot of race Clio's have these fitted so they must be pretty damn good. Decided to go for...

Hi guys , I had thought that I would go for the Nitron Damper setup that K-Tec are developing for the Trophy but have read great things about AST. And I just wondered if anyone on here has them fitted and what they think ? Cheers Neil

Well thanks again for the offer but I like the Trophy wheels so will keep them although I have been told that 15 inch wheel would be better for tracking . Vanity hey ! Do you have the Koni's then , how are they on track ?? Cheers
