Steve996 Posted 18February, 2022 Report Share Posted 18February, 2022 Nice. Which ones did you get? I’ve been looking at doing the same so keen to hear what you think once all fitted up. Also, how do you find the H&R springs? I’ve just ordered a set of these plus new shocks. I really like the stance on yours @tomo. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springs are great on Good roads, But a sharp reaction can be had by hitting an unspotted pot hole☹, I scored the cats of a PFA member, there make is TopGear out of the UK, Good looking welds, Top looking stuff really, Let's hope they do their job as good as they look what shocks did you go 4 ?

I've got the cable throttle 3/98 likely a ZF transmission. You have Mercedes transmission I think. I like manual mode but with the passage of time I think it warrants paddles. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo Posted 22February, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 22February, 2022 Well have put on the 200 cell cats, Motor breathes better, revs freely where it felt restricted with the 400 cats, I do not think there is any H/P gain, Engine is about 20-25% louder, Not loud in the cab, Do not know if I like the burble yet, Think I have got used to stealth mode .

Sometimes it pays to be able to fly under the radar by having a more subtle setup. One of the benefits of having a silver car, even though I'd love Speed Yellow......

tomo Posted 27February, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 27February, 2022 Well clocked up 6 hrs at the wheel of the 6.2, The cats are starting to grow on me, What has impressed me though is going from OW - 40 mineral oil to 5W - 40 full synth , Better oil pressure, fuel economy all round better 3hrs of Sunshine getting to destination 2 hrs of rain on the way home, All round a good thashing, with no tickets (I hope) sjm and JWM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
