Finally after months of waiting for an excuse to go to MRC had the Hotchkiss Arb's done. Big difference. Car feels more pointy, much better turn in, float has reduced and "feel" through the wheel improved. Lateral ridges more noticeable on motorways and ride firmer (wife has noticed and questioned this). Not badly so. I think the bumps are firmer but then damped quickly. Running on new DRC.


Much more like it, wish I got to drive it more often.

Sounds great

Did you have to get the geometry re-done?
