Small Update. Finally got round to fitting my LCR Front Splitter and My Lowering Springs. Went for Spax SSX 30mm Springs as want didn't want to go too low due to trying to get in my farm road, also want to keep the car looking OEM.

Goodies!

Decided to change front discs and pads and also got new dampers whilst changing springs.

Will hopefully see a bigger difference in a few days once the springs settle.

Thank you, can't wait to go and pick £150 of products :D
They are a great company, would totally recomend them.
Well done ma quine.

Richard, Clarke and Angela have set up a very good company, my car was the first one Richard detailed.
It's the first black LCR on their catalogue.
You can see my firast attempts at clay barring in his shots :redface: :redface:

Not too sure if it still is or not.
It was on there detailing world section but not too sure about their web site
They have moved on big time since then.
They would be a very good company to work for, they'll expect alot of hard work from you but would be very rewarding to work for.
Clarke and Richard both used to have Leons.
Clarke had a red LCR and Richard a Sliver 1.6 16V

I remember Richard telling me Clarke had a red LCR and he had a silver one that he used for track days ect? Hes running a C2 VTS just now.

Ooh, nice!! Lucky bloke! I think he was, I was only speaking to Marsha (she works there too) who I bumped into at the bar, didn't like to go over and intrude.

He's a true petrol head but is so focussed on the business he's willing to bide his time for now.
He was a tee totaller, the business stresses might have changed this though, lol

Car looking better just with the splitter fitted and yeah it'll take a couple of days for the suspension to settle out. Thought you would have went for grooved discs :shrug:

I would be willing to bide time if it meant getting a R35 GTR!!
I honestly can't say if he was drinking or not.
Do you get all your products from there when you need?
I used to, but have a big stash now and don't get to use them as much as before due to work, wife, wee loon and prepping my car for racing

Well I was going to, but my mate Scottie (scottie_b78) never got back to me in time as to where he got his (got a really good deal!) and my brother could only fit me in to fit them on saturday. Will definately get grooved discs when I get my LCR :D
