I really cant believe how smooth they are on the road. My normal Fen roads were like I was floating, but without body roll, with perfect grip and in control.... weird as sh1t. Love them.

Been running them at out of the box settings so far. 20 clicks from soft (out of 40) and on the road they handle crap surfaces, speed ramps and 'spirited or slightly sideways driving' perfectly without clunks, clanks, knocks and fuss 8)

Yes, the 'ring will be great with them

Well done Dunk! Sorry I missed you. Sound awesome and just right for a few sprints, a little later.

Need to get the ride height right on the front - needs dropping about 10 mm from where it is now but will possibly sag slightly. The rear has been dropped nicely by about an inch 8)

Will take some pics tomorrow along with the new carbon bling :lol:

I took Zak out for a test drive on the nastiest pothole ridden roads around his and it was flawless, supple but very very planted and just lapped it up and wanted more. They are way smoother and more controllable than std and yet seem to be more solid to stop body roll. Cant wait to click them up a bit for Monday and fully test them

I look forward to hearing your feedback on Monday. The suspension on mine is ear marked for an upgrade in the winter if the new house doesn't take all the money!

Looks real 8)

Flaps offer too much wind resistance, but look good.

Well....

update on issues:

1 oil - today on approx 120 cadwell laps I had to add.... NO OIL AT ALL - result

- cross that off the list

2 Tyres - they are lovely 8) - cross them off the list

3 Brakes - PF Discs and pads were faultless even when doing a good 15 lap session. I once got them to fade going into the hairpin but apart from that, they just performed perfectly

4 Suspension - cross that off the list 8)

5 Me .... I hope today's instruction stays in my head

6 - Power - some more is always welcome
