Picked the car up from Gerry at Phoenix on Saturday morning and took it for a blat around the local area, ............ I am absolutely gob smacked at the transformation, i even had to ring Gerry back to tell him.
It now handles nearly as well as my old E30 M3 did, and that was one of the all time greats in the handling department.
Forget buying those elusive 18" Alpinas....... if you are going to spend any money on your 8 get your suspension overhauled by Gerry, it will give you a car that you can quite literally "chuck" at a roundabout, it now handles flat with no wander at all, the camber plates add so much more stability, and help with the steering so much it now goes where you point, were as before you always felt there was some understeer.
Spec is:-
Phoenix Camber Plates
Eibach Springs all round - lowered a bit - but very subtle.
Poweflex polybushes to roll bar and thrust arms.
I also had the fluid changed to 5.1 and some braided brake hoses fitted, this now gives a very firm, predictable, pedal, rather than "oh my god will I stop" spongy feel of the pedal with the standard hoses.
Test rides can be booked through the usual channels.
I'm in 8th Heaven I just can't wipe the smile of my face :):):):):):):):)
