One thing I would add about superchips power figures is that, from my VW days, their dyno (and so the figures they quote) are massively 'generous'. E.g. on a VAG car they may quote a power increase of say 40bhp over stock. But a stock car run on their dyno would show say 30bhp over the manufacturers figures anyway...

My Cup2's come up narrow too so I could totally believe it about the ps4's

I'm really light on braking - my stock pads were on to last 10 years at the front and 15 years on the rear at the rate of wear they were showing! I wonder if following the on road bedding in procedure followed by a day on track helped mine?

Interesting on the project mu's I get a little bit of squeal when I first drive the car as mine isn't used every day now but after a couple of light brake applications no real noise to speak of.

It's really common and due to the nature of the pads. There is a Toyota service bulletin for this where you can get less high performance but also less squeaky pads fitted.

I paid £420 to blink Motorsport for fitting coilovers and whiteline camber bushes (much bigger job than your Eibach arms), alignment and set up. I paid £596.40 to RRG Macclesfield (a main dealer in case you're not familiar with them) to fit coilovers, anti-roll bars, drop-links and rear arb braces, to fit mtec gearbox springs, refit some under bonnet clips that had been broken when my windscreen was replaced, fit and set a headlight adjuster, swap the lowering springs on the standard shocks I had back to the OEM springs and set the ride height and carry out a full alignment. Based on my experiences I'd say what you've paid was definitely on the higher end.

I've got the whiteline front and rear arb kit. It does stiffen the ride up quite a bit just to warn you. Also, you'd want either both front and rear or just rear as front alone will add understeer.

I'd say there's a reasonable chance you may be catching something. I'd jack it up, take the wheel off and have a really good look especially if you are about 40mm+ lowered.

Have you checked the stop drop links aren't catching something? A lot of coilovers come with shorter drop links to stop any catching.

The parts are more than £600 so it's be for the fitting, alignment and adjustment

Good to see everyone today. Big thanks to @Mike@TD.co.uk for hosting it and to @Keethos for the passenger ride and the batarang!

Me, @will300 and @Keethos are meeting at Stafford services on the M6 North at about 8.50 in the morning to leave at 9 if anyone else fancies joining us.

You can definitely get these from UK dealers no problem. Try @James@Amber

I have them on my car. I've not noticed a massive difference to be honest and I agree with Lauren that I doubt there'd be much discount to be gained.

That's what I do 👍

I'll bring my sound meter on Sunday if you want to test it?

That sounds very sensible @MikeB 👍

Good aren't they! 😁 Wait until you get a day up in the 20's. ...To a blanket mate!

Should be 👍

Tape can make things worse. The best thing is to get a properly fitting socket. You can get some with a plastic sleeve to stop it from marking the wheels and the one I have has a soft gold coating inside so that it helps protect the nuts.
