OK - after much thought and reading your words of wisdom, I'm going to go for the Excel Gs - I won't be tracking it...I just want a fast road set-up better than stock. So, just a few more questions if I may...(forgive me if I've misunderstood your last post):
I'm planning to order springs from Spring coil and I know they already have a spec for a progressive set to fit an SG XT - do you know if these will be 30mm lower - if not, do you have a spec that I need to request? Also, a contact name who'll likely know what I'm talking about would be useful too.
Do you know where I can get group N rear mounts? I've found ICP do STi group N front top mounts here but not rears.
Is the pillow ball mod to the front control arms?
Reference the rear stabiliser mod - I have the Perrins HD mount but it's for an Impreza and is only around 60mm high rather than around 9mm - I presume I'll need to fabricate an ally block to mount it onto, yes?
I presume you mean the FRONT strut brace? Can you recommend a decent one for the money? (and same for the lower brace please?)
As always, your advice is much appreciated.
