Meisters were a cheapish option for something adjustable (depending on the purpose and how long/far I was driving the car) because my OEM shocks did not feel good after £80k on them. I'm clearly no track man but have noticed significant improvements in handling by installing under-car braces, getting back to OEM disc and pads, stiffning suspension, better Goodyear rubber, even though wheels are Rotas they're 17".

Its a slow process getting the car back from the substandard it was bought in, and I must admit I keep falling into the trap of seeing 'shiny Spoon stuff' and wanting to fit it. I'm now back-tracking on much of this, hence why I need to get the idea of a wing out of my head. Thanks for the feedback from genuine 'users' of these products as they were designed.

Dixcels, decent light wheels, better rubber - all on the cards at some point. Oh - and I have a full 8 hours with Roger from RideDrive booked for next weekend LG which I've promised to write up for S2KUK.

I did a half day RideDrive a few years back, roads only. Really, really useful stuff.

The CR model had a wing..... plus sticky tyres and rigidity improvements.... the aim of the CR was for track day enthusiasts.

No problems with getting stiffies in the boot then....?

In my experience my bgw hasn't helped with handling but has definitely helped with high speed stability, feel much more confident from say 80 onwards.

I would look at boot re-inforcement threads to see how much work you have to do to fit the BGW (not too much). But yeah it all depends on the look... Voltex for racing or something like Seibon TF (CR replica) but I heard that it has been know to crack...
