Im not saying the miltek is bad, its superb bit of kit, just need to watch for speed bumps. god knows what would happen if you lowered it on coilovers.

SuperSprint is now over a grand!

My car is lowered and the DP's touch on some bumps. It's one DP that hangs lower than the other and it's horrible hearing a scraping noise likt that!!

I'm running a full Milltek sysstem and since last year lowered PSS9- about 15mm and I have had centre box issues on some- usually short, sharp bumps- like the rubber strips, less so the more 'gradual' type- approaching at an angle helps, very slow manouvering, not using the brakes which dips the front end. Had a few, what I thought were damaging scrapes- including my DTS at the front but all I found when it was offt he ground recently were a few minor scrapes on the middle box weld at the back and likewise the DTS. Loaded is a problem- had to meet the gf and kids at the bottom of a multi-storey just yesterday as it was scraping at the top of the ramps, no issues coming down.
I think the odd scrape is offset by how flat it corners and how it looks. I'm usually on my own though with maximum one passenger- yesterday was an aberration.......!
Can't be much worse than any other car with 450bhp under the loud pedal surely....
Regards
Steve

the millteks are fiddley to fit especially around the rear diff where it can hang low but if its jacked up there while fitting then clamped up tight it will fit fine, ive had no trouble with mine catching since i did this

GmbH shocks are same colour as standard ones (red oxide colour). Koni shocks are yellow.

SSRS4, I'm getting my exhaust done by these guys www.jpexhausts.co.uk should have been done last week but had to cancel due to family bereavement. The guy to speak to is Rick he really knows his stuff and is very friendly and helpful. Once mine is done I will upload pic's etc.
