Just back from PowerStation, I had eibach springs, fitted and asked for the drop links to be changed for aluminium ones, also had the geometry laser
aligned to their custom settings.
And the result.
On the journey back which consisted of A and B roads, on the flat it felt a little firmer and you could feel the road undulating as it went along, hardly any difference in comfort level as I would have expected from the progressively wound springs.
On a fast stretch of road I followed another car, as we came to a fast bend he/she was breaking, obviously felt to fast, the Scooby sat flat to the road and went round the corners with no drama, and felt it could have gone much faster even on the wet road.
Small roundabouts were fun, it seemed to go around them as fast as you could turn the steering wheel and with little to no body roll.
The car sits without that stupid gap ender the wheel arch, but did not feel as if I had to sit any lower in the car.
As for PowerStation, well they were a bit like the ride in the car, no drama got on and did the job.
They were friendly without oversell, made you feel welcome, coffee was to be had if you wanted it in their waiting area, we chose to go into Cheltenham on the bus for the 3hrs while they did the work, the bus stop was opposite the premises, next time we go will have a look round Tewksbury because I feel a sports cat and remap coming along.
Thanks Andy (PowerStation)
