As already said above--very brave to post this Mark.

I've got a spreadsheet too, but wouldn't dare post it up.

Most would think I was mental......

I still maintain what I said in my first post though I could have spent precisely none of the above and it would still be a great fun track and road car!

Like most of us, fiddling is a bit of a drug...
Amen to that

Ease of adjustment means just that.
You'll always be fiddling with them.
I set the KWv3 three times.
Once I found the best road setup it only got beefed up for a track day (20min work).
And to be honest I ended up almost back at the oem shipping values anyhow on the KW.

I have been there, nothing impressive about their facility but I think they have the UK distribution rights for recaro.

BTW, what exactly did Chris Franklin do to justify the £1150 charge, that is a lot of money for a set up, I assume you were there for days and days
