Not had the chance to drive it properly yet as I've only just turned 17 last month, so I can't answer your question properly. I've kept level with a Saxo VTR in 1st and 2nd gear before we ran out of road though. (VTRs are meant to be quicker but maybe it was his bad day, he had an LSD and Quickshift too!) I will comment on the handling once all the handling parts are fitted and its on the road The KYB shocks had 3 stud top mounts but I had a pair of 4 studs lying about so fitted them.
