Driftworks are 700 for the hsd Monopro's which are cheaper than the BC racing RN series that they are equivalent to at 755 from Corby motorsports

The. Bc racing BR series are 685 from Corby but aren't inverted monotubes like the two above

NP. Spent a lot of time looking at different set ups for mine, decided on the HSD Monopro's eventually partly due to driftworks January sale and they have been great

HSD motopro are 697 on driftworks.

Would you recommend them?

Also do they come with adjustable front top mounts?

I would recommend them, not too harsh on the road on softest setting but plenty of adjustment to stiffen up for track. Mine have camber and caster adjustment, I think the 5 series ones are just camber adjustable

Yes it is Jambo, China's finest!

I had a similar unit and was happy with it. This one is newer and touch screen is supposedly better.

I might at some point but I am not paying 400 just for bumpers.

I keep going to this scrapyard that is really cheap and they had msports before so I am waiting on another one

So, sat nav/dvd fitted.

Only got it yesterday afternoon and had a date in evening so didn't get chance to fit it.

After sleeping 4 hours I have set off to Leeds today at 10am.

I was meeting few BMW owners as we were attending a Meet in Hull.
While I was waiting I thought I would get my radio out..





Two hours before the meet




Met up with few BMW owners..
