The Brakes are getting better and better thanks for testing my car Dave.

Yep, my brakes are bedding in nicely too...taking longer than I thought it would though!

Suspension, I'd say you could up the damping a couple of clicks one the rear matey....from memory it seemed to be the rear that bottomed out, not the front...having said that, it's not a particularly good road!

Is it safe to come down yet? :cry:

What can I say about handling? Given the speed (ahem) and the hostile road surface I thought that the suspension and the ESP did an incredible job of keeping us out of trouble. It's the first time I've seen that yellow light flashing away with three figures on the speedo!

:bowdown: :greyrs4:

DaveP needed some encouragement to "explore" your monster's capabilities. Don't blame him though given the nature of the road and the weather conditions...

What's all this about travelling quickly on the way back?

Vicious car G - very impressed! :FIREdevil:

It's a different ball game in someone elses car....and on a road you've never been down before - last thing I wanted to do was bend Gordons car! :shock:

That's what you always say! :wink:

Do you really think that G needs to tweak his suspension? Could it be that the road in question was at an extreme (awful) and his car is about right for most (sensible) conditions? I was very impressed with the way it coped...

Just my 2ds...

Thanks Darren and Dave.
The susp is just a little harsh but then it bottoms out.
I have raised it a little .
I will have to keep playing to get it perfect.
Slow changes, Will improve it for all round driving.

I will keep you informed.
I may need a little more height for my springs.
G
I will be free this Sat, if you want to pop over Dave to do yours Also

See you all soon .
