Hi mate,

Yeah, all went very well thanks. I had the RTAB limiters fitted, brake fluid replaced and geo done in just over 2 hours. I didn't get the chance to throw the car round too much on the way back but i did think it felt more settled at the back when i did try and provoke it...! I'm looking forward to feeling the improvement on track this weekend.

The guys at Simpson are top blokes and could'nt have been more friendly and helpful. I spoke at length to Anthony about brake and suspension upgrade options. Unfortunately it was found that my brake pads all round are near worn so i have ordered a full AP race brake kit for fitting next month. Anthony even dug out an old set of part-worn CSL pads to take to the Ring just in case i get caught short out there! Like i said - top blokes!

Whilst there they were more than happy for me to bimble around the garage and look at the cars there and even take a few photos! There were 4 other SG CSLs in for upgrades including some ESS Superchargers (one 700+ bhp!), an old E30 M3 racer, Audi RS4 racer, 3 Ferarri F40/F50 as well as an awesome E46 GTR racer that was featured in a BMW magazine recently. I certainly wasn't bored whilst waiting! I took a few pics on my old camera but can't download them til the weekend as my laptop doesn't have the right card reader

All in all, i can't recommend Simpson highly enough

Agreed, every time I see a supercharged CSL I think that it is such a waste, surely do it to a standard E46 M3.

Would agree also...air box ia one of the distictive features on the CSL.
