I'm having Monkfish put on the Pedders Extreme coilover kit and road response kit to my Carbon Edition. I will therefore have the old kit to sell, that has the slightly stiffer 35mm lower springs.

If anyone is interested before Wed and we agree a price, I could leave them at Roger's garage for you to arrange for him to fit. Otherwise I'll bring 'em home and try to sell 'em separately.

just a bump before Wednesday when I get the new stuff fitted and decide whether to leave the old stuff at Monkfish or bring home with me.

no probs, will do Chris.

From what I've heard so far, both cost the same fitted near as dammit, but pedders seems to have more adjustability than the WP (essentially Tein Coilovers?) and according to Roger, offer the control without the ride harshness of the WP setup and lastly (and least) Pedders are bright black/red rather than silver smile

Will let you know if they do the job for the money, especially combined with the road response pack on top!!

Mine's 35mm already so will be keeping it the same as I'm used to the look and it gets over the vast majority of speed humps without any touching!

Let me know what you think to the cam upgrade. I'll have to speak to Rog about the difference it would make to my FI engine and whether worth the money or not considering where I want to be next year power wise.

Good idea on the cam gents. You should get in excess of the NA gains if you are forced. (ie) at least 47bhp more. Id guess you might make 70bhp extra with it FI. But thats just speculation on my part. Boost pressure will drop, but thats a good thing, airflow should increase and intake temps reduce smile

I've not had a PM or anything so I'll assume you're sorted on the spring front. If you do want them and want me to leave them at Monkfish, PM me sometime today before 4PM, otherwise I'll be bringing 'em home with me!

Only in so far that it will accentuate the underlying hardware. So optimising the hardware always helps.

Still FI is no good for me smile Its evil. I dont need more than 500rwhp!
