I think ive actually spoken to him before about my S3 and he was willing to come to my area.. so will give me a shout again.. Wonder what sort of BHP / Torque he would get out of a 115... Super chips recon 115 to 161BHP and 285 to 405 NM torque... Wonder how true those figures are...

I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Hmmm At the RR day we just had some of the MK5 lads had blue fin (superchips)
and none of the cars reached the figures quoted from superchips however it all depends on the engine etc etc

Speak to nick before you choose, he is VERY helpful and his knowledge is second to none  :wink:

its gonna look good hey.. I got the coilovers from venom motorsport, they stock them so ship next day. I did discs, pads, ARB bushes and coilovers in a weekend. which i didnt think was too bad. Spent most of the time jacking the car up and putting axle stands under.

Before you fit decide to do the work.. add the following to your shipping list.

Spring compressors
Spreader tool
Tool for removing Top mount bolt - Read below review. I used a spark plug socket and allen key and it worked well.
Decent Floor jack
Axle Stands
Hammer.

A great guide below on how to fit the coilovers..

Hope this helps...
