Eibach springs are standard on Trophy.

 

[L3BTF]

Ahhh now i know , Thanks dude need to ring MR fish tomorrow for some prices.

 

[L3BTF]

Dampers are now on the way to BG motorsport took a quick pick of the dampers cleaned up.
Need a few coats of paint when there back before they go back on.

I think you could have saved yourself some money if you had removed the springs before sending them off, one in weight of postage and two in Ben labour costs.

I know I only live round the corner from Silverstone, but Ben asked if I could take the springs off as it saves him time and me money.

 

[L3BTF]

There off just a pic before i sent them

How easy is it to remove the dampers from the car?

Just thinking you may need to jack the car up quite away to get them off?

Only as far as you would normally jack it to get a wheel off then it's three more bolts.

dont get the K-Tec matched inlet. JMS do both upper and lower for less than K-tecs lower...... just a heads up.

Your right easy as 1,2,3 getting them off , some bolts might be tighter than others but easy enough to get off,

is there much benefit from a lightened flywheel? Im really temted by the k-tec short shift as well, i think it would improve it so much

 

[L3BTF]

Flywheel you will notice better accel speed,
