Hi all. I'm looking to get the monkfish road response pack fitted in feb and I was wondering what people thought of it, I.e is there a noticeable difference in road holding and turn in and does the car handle better under braking, Al.
This one's been done to death here as well, but anyway: Just ask them for a go in their demonstrator. It should show you that unless you just use your car for dropping the kids off, or going shopping, such a modification is not just discressionary, for a car like yours, its absolutely mandatory!
I don't think there is any one else on here who's had it done that would tell you otherwise. Enjoy.
I don't find it changes the road holding and can't say it improves the handling when braking. However, it does sharpen up the steering response a bit and feels like some play has been removed at the front end. I've also done the rear end now and fitted the quick rack and I'd say the rack is the biggest improvement. The demo car has the quick rack.
There's no question. It sharpens the whole thing up. Frankly, I couldn't believe it made so much difference, having thought the HSV engineers knew how to set up a performance car suspension. Make sure you get the trailing link bushes done too, I think this may be an extra. Ask Roger.
Bloody good improvement imo so much so am going to finish off and have the rear end fitted with firmer bushes next time its in for service/MOT
The demo car would not be a good demonstration imo as that car is so sorted you wont know which improvement you are feeling. The bushes just give it the feel it should have, much more positive on the constant gradient turn

I think this video just about says it all, my friend had his GTS done , and just as the video clip shows,it takes all that massive soak/movement away from the front arms. He said it was the best mod he had done.

Depends which demo you have
the CV8 has a stock rack, the VXR has a quick rack.

where are the trailing links located, how many do you need,and how long does it take to fit ? (Including the response pack)
oh... and how much £**** in total ?

Stop!!! What are you trying to achieve? Theres not many people who really need adjustable poly trailing arm bushes.
The road response Pac and Rear end pacs are listed on the website, the trailing arm bushes are not, mainly because there are some options, plus it will depend on what if any work you are doing at the same time.
Like i said, what are you aiming for? I can then advise the best and most cost effective route to get there.
