And yep, use a pair of needle nose plyers to wind rear pistons in. Go clock wise

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.

Make it 2-0 for suspension. So important.
Oh and Dan - "Lefty loosey, righty tighty"

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.

I know it's clockwise for tighten, anti for loosen, but i kept doing it by it facing me, not me facing it.
right- left, left to right. etc.

Should be quite the ride to Dwaynes with that setup
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

Setup I have is stiffer front, softer rear.
Makes sense to me...

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.

LOL yeah I could see how that would be confusing
Yeah, you want the rear stiffer when dragging. Stop the ass from bogging down on launch. But we don't drag all day everyday
