did they advise you, or maybe you already know, not to back off while cornering hard? as it will fling you round. they are good like that.

This is why I need to get to Bedford to test it out  I'd rather do it there than on a local roundabout and have it spit me into the hedge.

i tested mine on a roundabout. it wasnt a clever thing to do. mine is shorter and lighter obviously but it snapped so quick.

quaife's make such a difference to the way a car handles its untrue, only thing is, as nic said, you go into a corner really brave, but you have to keep your foot planted otherwise they have a habbit of the arse end going rather light...

They have a remus as standard I think.

£875 including fitting, but you can buy the diffs for £550 from LMF but make sure you speak to Quaife and get the generation 2 bearings as LMF were selling them with the generation 1 and they were failing quite a bit.

Usually £1100 incl fitting but they bought 10 from Quaife and once these 10 are gone back up to £1100 incl fitting.
