REPORT: Suspension upgrades with Bilstein + GMG
Been emailed a few starting pics by my suspension tuning shop Center Gravity, so I thought I'd post them.
Just as a reminder this is what I am having fitted:
* Bilstein Damptronic kit (ClubSport version**)
* GMG WC Sport sway bar set
* GMG WC rear toe steer kit
* GMG Dog bone kit
** NOTE: Cargraphic describe the Damptronic kit coming in normal or clubsport variants...
* GA5-D598 Sportsuspension B16 damptronic, FA+RA 15-35mm CLUBSPORT
* GA5-D581 Sportsuspension B16 damptronic, FA 25-35mm, RA 15-35mm
HOWEVER now when you go to the Bilstein site it says the D581's are for Carrera 4 and the Turbo you only have a choice of the D598 or the non-PASM PSS10 kit (GM5-D601). So I guess everyone with 'Damptronic' kits are either running the Carrera 4 soft versions or the correct Turbo version (GA5-D598)
Once all the kit is fitted Center Gravity will then perform the following:
* Ride height check and adjust
* Corner weight check and adjust
* Geometry check and adjust
* Test drive
Going to start with a -20mm drop and middle stiffness settings on the front and rear sways.
Also, as my rear Bridestones were nearly worn down (7500 miles) I thought I'd take the opportunity and get myself some Michelin PS2's also.
More report to come hopefully each day this week. I will probably be collecting Thu or Fri.
*****Spoiler Alert*****
