Splitter looks great Mike. I wonder if its bigger than the gloss black kit. As I've said on a few posts I regret not getting carbon largely to get the boot wavy opening thing that I have used only once to make sure it worked.
The exhaust work looks really neat to me as a layman.

Mike

Are you just using lowering springs?

Think I'd be looking for a 20mm drop?

I'm running DRC

H&R do 20mm and 40mm springs (for DRC cars only).
Part numbers are:
28828-1 for 20mm
28828-2 for 40mm


Site Sponsors Revolution sell them. Pretty sure if you give Glen a call or PM he will do you a deal:

Demon Tweeks do the 20mm ones for £260:

Cheapest place I can find is from ebay in Germany. Various options with lower prices but higher postage or higher price with lower postage but works out to about £240 for cheapest options.

No, any decent garage should be able to do it.
I had mine done at Plush Automotive as they are top blokes, know a lot about suspension and know their way around the C7 RS as they own one.

Edit, just seen you're in Teeside so I'd be going to Revolution if I was you.

<beep> hire car is fastest thing on the plant, great for practicing racing changes and heel/toe.

Lol, there is an element of truth to this. I am being time trialled every time I drive up the bendy hill by the kids.
I seriously think one of the shocks has gone in this thing though, it is so bouncy!!! Or maybe I am too used to the rock hard dynamic ride on the 6?

It has dampers? You must have upgraded.

Last hire car I had was a punto. A full five gears which provided varying noise and little else.

It's a Kia Sportage which is far from sporty in any way. 6 gears though!!!
