| Well I've just driven the car home from GarageMac with the DW kit fitted. Obviously it's far too soon to give a proper appraisal, as the car needs to settle and have the setup tweaked in a couple of weeks. Then I'll do a proper write up.
But some initial observations:
The ride quality is really good. The shitty roads near Pod usually give you blurred vision in my car, and enough scuttle shake that you think the dash is going to bend. That's completely gone. It's still hugely communicative, you can feel the road texture and the undulations, but the feedback has had the volume turned down from 11 to 10. No chance to open it up and feel what the handling's like when it's loaded up as it's wet and greasy out and I've got trackday tyres on, but the rear end does feel more planted than on my old Teins.
So far, very pleased with my purchase. And of course Jamie@garagemac deserves huge huge props for doing such a sterling job of getting it all fitted and sorted. I supect he'll think twice the next time someone asks for the bushes changing on a crusty old Roadster.
I'll write up a full review and put up some pictures and stuff when it's got its final setup and I've had a chance to really explore the limit. |
