RR Sport, e lowered and brembo'd etc,.
has yr step got sb on as well?
well no but its got F16 which feels like a SB after instaling it.
Maybe you can try it out and you will be suprice about the little 8 seater.
Keith drove it last year and even he say it dose not feel like a 8 seater at all.

Guys, got my car back last night with the Koni FSD fitted.

The ride is a slightly stiffer than the stock in the city road but more compromise on the highway,
on the handling side, i definitely feel the FSD "working" when turn into the corners,

the car now is more willing and keen to entry the corner at higher speed, and you'll feel it stiff up during the corners, pretty cool!
The road feedback from the shocks were great through the corners aswell.

Haven't push it hard yet since it is still so new, but i will keep you updated if anyone wants to know.
congrats sound like I will be getting these as well then

if 20" is what u want, by all means go for it but I would check on the down side first, keith already mentioned a couple.
