Great pics Will!

Ride is great but firm feels really planted now. It sits a lot better being 20mm lower and my wife who is not into cars could tell straight away how nice it looked. Worth to round trips to Macclesfield to RRG as Richard and his team have looked after us and car ready and set up. They managed to get 2 degrees camber with Eibach bolts which was more than what they thought would get. EDFC Active is great and will have a proper play with settings at some point tomorrow but was set on manual mode and I changed it to auto and it does make a difference.

I will let you know how it turns out as I have looked into different set ups and talked through with Tein. I have been in Lauren's car and the ride was excellent and so much better than than stiffer springs and anti roll bars. Standard dampers don't work properly in my experience with after market springs. I need my car to handle well with out a to racy set up for road and track. With the adjustability of EDFC it should fit the bill. Being a paraplegic, I drive with hand controls so having the car balanced for driving with one hand on wheel and the other using the throttle/brake lever is a must. Street Advance are rebuildable so you can change the damping to suit your needs and as Lauren said come with 5kg springs but no pillow ball mount as they fit to standard mounts. Change camber with camber bolts but only limited change.

Nice pics Will -
I agree with you, after having mine remapped it made a world of difference especially with auto box and getting it done on dyno.

MFactory Final Drive Kits in stock at Tuning Developments for GT86 and BRZ
MikeB replied to Mike@TD.co.uk's topic in Tuning Developments
The issue is is not to be to wrapped in the figures it's how you want your car to perform and what you are using it for. It's the same when changing exhaust and air filter for the ecu map to match so you get the best from upgrades working together. I have noticed in sport mode with auto (4.67) you are changing down a lot earlier than you might want to so its gaining in accelerating but losing out in braking. Which would be fine in tight track/road but keep in normal mode for longer less twisty track. It will be interesting to see how performs on the first two sprints at Blyton. -

On auto has put revs up by about 400/ 500rpm and fuel consumption dropped by 3mpg only on long run. Worth noting though you do get small whine noise being helical gear but not as loud as straight cut but it's not to intrusive. -

On my GT I run Yokohama 105 225 on 17 x 8 and really like them. I had conti 5's on BMW and they were good road tyre but prefer yoko's. Out of intrest on my new Beemer it came with Bridgestone Potenza S001 and not as good in cold weather as either yoko's or Conti 5's (225 x17).
