Suspension upgrade...
Koni adjustable dampers fitted along with existing H&R Supersport springs.
These Koni dampers & H&R springs were developed together as a set so perfectly compatible.

+ Powerflex adjustable camber bushes.

+ Powerflex adjustable caster/anti lift bushes.

Front end setup...
Koni adjustables, H&R springs, Compbrake strut tops, Powerflex camber & castor bushes.

Adjustment via top mounted dial.

First real track test with new setup will be this Sunday, but so far the Konis' have proved to be an absolute blessing with a very comfy ride when set on full soft plus superb flat handling when set on full hard.
Improved turn in with increased camber & caster via the Powerflex bushes.
No more front end knocking with the strut tops replaced (both were broken).
Very happy.

Had the car wheel aligned today with the Powerflex adjustable camber & caster bushes fitted in preparation for tomorrows day at the track...
Ended up with 1.2 degrees neg camber.
Initial turn-in has definitely improved & the anti-lift aspect (I was dubious about this) also seems to have improved how hard the car launches.
It's a fairly big job installing these bushes but if you track your car regularly you will certainly appreciate the benefits.

Sprint Booster arrived today [thanks Chris].
Fitted it in about 20 minutes, had to grind away a little metal off the throttle pedal bracket like others have done.
Throttle response is much improved [love the 'red' setting].

Have you stuck the sprintbooster straight on to the blank?
Or is it stuck to something else and then on to the blank?
Harness bar setup in place with harness, extinguisher & camera mount.

Is it unsafe to use the strut brace as a harness mount? Seems like it would be okay I'd imagine it would be pretty secure
Yep fine imo, I used it for a full race season (about 20 events) & it was perfectly fine.
All the scrutineers were happy with it.
Its very securely mounted, probably better to wrap harnesses than attach with I-bolts though.
My main reason for updating to the harness bar is to use with HANS device which are now mandatory in certain events.
