Cute cat, I saw a cat up for adoption yesterday that I would have taken home if I didn't have a large iguana free roaming around the house.
I'm surprised you haven't installed your new red anodized centers yet! Oh just out of curiosity what are your F/R Ohlins set at?

Partly yes. Giomic updated their website so it was harder to find them, but back a few yrs ago it was easier to find. If you know what those items do, you really don't need a translation though. I can't think of anyone that makes these either, so this will help the overall suspension that much more in reducing stress up front.

Yeah. I'm not slammed by all means, but I've been slammed and lowered enough where I really should get these. I might as well tighten up and finish more of the suspension anyways.

The Ohlins are going for top dollar over there ($2825! I like how to tie rod ends are a sealed unit rather than open, even have carbon fiber fender arches. The TK-square Suspension Systems complete with sealed tie rod ends looks very high-end along with the high-end price $3754, to bad we'll never know how well they perform. The shipping is scary!

Pixels. I am excited to share this since I worked on this and the F56 MINI's actually looked really cool when I saw this. My editor at one point was like "You have a MINI, why don't you record me some of your exhaust noises so we can use that as temp audio". At the time, I didn't have time to record my exhaust note, but either way, they looked great and the FX on this film are really badass. Look out for it this summer!

Will do! Yes more corner speed!

Alignment performed yesterday and having taken the MINI out on a drive to work this morning, I must say that the Giomic bits have reduced body roll. I honestly feel like I'm more flat going into corners as my center of gravity has been brought down with the roll center adjusters and the tie rod ends should give me that bit more of an advantage at the track now.
It can be a tough pill to swallow at $1100 installed, but for me, worth it since the last thing left on the MINI at this point is engine rebuild. So far, I'm a believer.
