Post by Scott Barton »

To compliment my Tein suspension...my latest upgrade!
Thanks to Elite who sourced and fitted! :thumleft:

Steering is a lot more responsive, the steering wheel returns to centre a lot quicker.

That's just because your old ones were bent :wink: :clown:

Seriously, though - I fitted my Toms ones the other day and even without an alignment yet the difference is quite startling. Turn in is much improved.

Uneven roads are a damn site noisier though! Ah well...

Hi Toni....
With IMOC premium member discount it was IIRC a little of £250 fitted inc VAT.
I think they work out a shade under the price you would pay for them on Nengun....the IMOC discount saved me approx £25 this time round!! :thumleft:

Well its all in their showroom. To be honest i can imagine they can get hold of pretty much anything. They were promoting Tein at the recent IMOC day.

Am sure Claire will be along shortly and post some more stuff up in their affiliate section.
