I had them fitted to my 03 Tuscan S in June by Dulfords, excellent product, exellent service and set up, makes the car so much better to handle, gives you so much more ability to use that power. I have drove Tuscans with Nitrons, and I just couldn,t warrant spending twice the amount, when I don't intend to Track day the car.

I had Racing Reds fitted to my Mk1 Tuscan in June by Paul at PPC Melton. They have made a big difference to the way the car sits on the road, the handling and my confidence in driving it.

I've tired a couple of different settings and 25 clicks from soft all round seems good for fast fairly smooth roads and general hooning around. 20 clicks from soft when Mrs is in the car.

Paul made an amazing difference to my car on the original shocks by setting up the car properly so its not all down to shocks but that said the addition of the Racing Reds has made another noticable improvement. Its now a pleaseure to drive which is worrying because my wife is trying to find the keys again.

First impressions are good.

About £650ish, then fitting and set up, if I remember.

Booked in for Friday.

can't wait - bored of the car wallowing and generally feeling unsafe.

Its a 2001 mk 1 on original suspension with 36k so expecting to feel a real difference.

I too am hoping to feel a difference my shocks are crashing real bad and it feels really unsafe over bumps in corners. Just hope its done by Saturday as I am possibly going to a track day

I am saving hard for a set.

I had heard that Racing Reds are Nitrons made in China under licence and were pretty good? Anybody know for sure?
