I have just had all my wheels refurbished. Some time next year I want a Road Response pack fitted. I have two questions, Will my wheels get scratched when the car gets realigned, and will the steering feel any different.

I know one thing for sure you will notice the difference, i drove their demonstrator the other day and really noticed it was more responsive, and i dont think there would be any problems with your wheels.

I'm a Monkfish fan but didn't notice that much difference from the new bushes.

I'm with you. A bit tighter I guess, but still handles like something that doesn't handle.....and don't get me started on tyres and pressures....

You mean like having a boot full of lead and driving on ice?

As for the OP, I had the bushes fitted but hadn't driven the car for approx 3 months prior to fitting so couldn't quite remember what it was like before.
What i will say is that since having had it done I am happy the front turns in when i ask it too, it's now just the back end that doesn't know it's attached to the rest of the car....!

Got what i paid for! 2nd to 3rd red line changes make the back end step out at 50+mph. AAARRGGGHHH!!
Having fun getting rid of the rubber though!
This has taught me one thing though, i will be going back to 235 OEM rubber next time. I hope to be able to feel a big difference and be able to preach to the uninitiated. Or not. We shall see!

Hi Guys,

Personally, it made a huge difference for me and is helped by the more agressive alligned Roger used. Just feels more positive on corning and more sure footed through the steering wheel. I could see a few people thinking they get too much feedback through the steering wheel.

Mind you I then went on to full coil overs and the rear suspension poly bushes.

IMHO a very worth while upgrade. Don't worry about your wheels my car has been alligned three times by Roger now and always back mint (suspect the mounts on the wheels are full of foam or similar).

Cheers
Steven

Our alignment equipment clamps on to the tyres, leaving just 3 plactic legs in contact with the wheel so no damage occurs. Some alignment equipment clamps to the rim, these can damage the paint.

Will you notice the RRP? Yes, you should. Try the demonstrator first if you want. It has to be said that different people have differing levels of sensitivity to what their car is doing under them. Some can notice even the smallest change, some not. The demo is here and waiting!

Roger can transform the car with his suspension setup, mine was st a few years ago and he more than fixed it, since the rebuilt everything seems ok again but will see after it stops ficking raining. Will try on the track at 150+ and it may be a trip to Roger again if its all wooley again.
