So that's -
+80hp stg 1 map
+26hp non res
+46hp downpipes (more to come)
Nice numbers if you just get with catback itself 26hp, but remap no need for just catback, akrapovic sais their catback gets 7kw extra (about 10 hp) http://imageshack.com/a/img922/8392/l7523T.jpg

So only with catback and downpipes you can get nearly 70 hp plus you do remap 80 hp in total 150 hp not bad

I wouldn't have done it this way in real world - the lot would have been added and then remapped.
This is JBS owners old car and he asked if he could do the different stages which I agreee to. Clearly this would have cost me loads of unnecessary £££
That said if I was JUST adding a non res cat back I would never just stick it on and drive it away...

I'm not with the car till weekend
Do you want pics of the car side on? Or actual pics of the springs installed??
They are adjustable springs not coilovers

Not sure what you'd get from a side pick of KWs as they are adjustable so you can take them as low as they will go if you chose to.

Love a side on pic.

Whats your feedback on the HAS KW setup when compared the ride of stock? Is it comfortable or crashy and harsh like most drop springs?

Appreciate any information and feedback you can share.

Cheers

I'll get one this weekend, I'm away currently without car.
Only done around 50 miles so far on springs, didn't notice any difference tbh, almost forgot they had been done as was more focused on map changes and exhaust note etc

I've never noticed any difference to ride with lowering springs. Improvements to handling yes, changes ride effect no. Dynamic is so flipping hard anyway it'd be a hard job to make it feel any harder.

Final results are in...
720.5hp
773 lbs ft
So made 12hp today and lost 8lbs at peak
However it was a peak and came back down where as this is a flatter curve torque wise and stays above previous line all the way in the red..

Can't post pics of my iPhone so can upload graph
