Cheap! I'll bet that I paid more for it than you paid for your heavier Mugen bonnet
You mean you wouldn't swap with me if I offered too

Bonnet should be painted if you go for it.

Suits the car better if it has some different bumpers IMHO.

I reckon spend the money else where though, leave that until theres nothing else to do*

*Is that possible?

One in the eye for some people

But, all the quickest cars run bigger than 225 up front it is proven all over USA race tracks.

16kg spring rate = 900lb/inch (Happy to be corrected if wrong)

Goodbye kidneys and fillings on a UK road.

16 is a little strong for sure, 12 would be a little more compliant!

He did say for track though.

I was running 2 clicks from full hard on the Ohlins as Spa / Ring GP. Perfect after a bit of tweaking from the Lotus road settings.

Marios, thanks for sharing that!

Thanks for this - did he recommend oil viscosity for the engine?
Oil viscosity 5W-40. As for oil brand they have worked with Oberon and Total in the past. Now they use Elf.
