A note on the Spoon spring spacers, I've now installed several sets of new release Spoon springs (now have thicker and higher quality black spring insulator on them) and have discovered they no longer sit low in the rear.

So for anyone who have the new release springs, you do not need the spacer I developed to raise the rear end.

If you have any questions feel free to respond here or send me a PM.

Thanks all

Paragon rotors and Project Mu HC-CS pads fitted in prep for upcoming track day.

Initial impressions on street; lots of bite straight off the bat, hardly needed to bed the pads in to feel the bite. Seems I'm getting into ABS threshold with less pedal pressure. Will see how they behave on track. Got Elig Titanium shims behind the pads as well.

Loving your setup mate. And if I wasnโ€™t in Melbourne Iโ€™d be coming to see you about my setup.
What are the specs on your new CE28s?

PB posted. But not entirely satisfied with the pace, track did feel a bit slow and greasy but the car felt great in terms of handling balance. The Tein coilovers are superb...

Are you still at factory ride height? Did you have to roll the fenders?
-25mm from factory
No fender work needed with enough camber and the right kind of camber

Aeroflow but I had to modify the top brace quite significantly to make it work. There are better solutions out there where the brace goes long the width of the battery rather than down the length.
