1-0 to suspension at the moment. Will probably have to decide by mid week. More thoughts people! I know power is nothing without control so leaning towards suspension too but still like to hear opinions.

In between the timeline of doing both mods, are you gonna track it or do some spirited driving on the twisties?
If not, then go the ecu/computer. You'll get more satisfaction from the boosted kws and knowing your engine is running fit after the fine tune.

Should be quite the ride to Dwaynes with that setup :D

Kinda thinking meanwhile, as we know how to do your rear pistons, if you want to drop round again one weekend we can quickly do your rear pads for peace of mind as the existing ones were almost Lawso worthy.
Also give the system a good flush with complete new fluid.

for a FF car isnt it meant to be stiffer suspension at the back and slightly softer at the front for better handling?

cos youve got the opposite there :scratch:

Always harder up front. Its gotta deal with the weight of the engine.

I have heard of guys doing on drag cars for their launch but always stiffer on road track cars.
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

LOL yeah I could see how that would be confusing :lol:

Yeah, you want the rear stiffer when dragging. Stop the ass from bogging down on launch. But we don't drag all day everyday ;)
