Car went superb throughout the track day, must of been out on track for about 2 hours in total, and never missed a beat.
Had a few people asking about what engine/brakes i was running too :D

Also at Donny i picked up some 7" 250lb coilover springs off Nathan(cheers mate)
So set out fitting them today.
Coilover removed and in bits(again)

Old spring left, new right

Refitted the strut, and the ride height is now just what i want.
This is with the spring platform wound up to about 1-2" off the bottom

Compared to the old springs fully down

So im well pleased with that result, can go lower but i want to keep some damper travel, so i'll leave them at that.
The shorter springs also means i no longer need wheel spacers :cool:
Thats all for now.
Quick update.
If youve not seen, i picked up a xe the other week.
