Ok thanks for the replys.
1st question . What is the sport brake package front & rear £957,60
How does this differ to the standard brakes
Simply put better brakes, if you are considering track usage at all, then the general advice is get the sports brake package. I'll answer the next question, yes you need to upgrade the suspension, again for track, but also for resale. I went single adjustable as frankly I dont have the time or patience to be adjusting 2 or even 3 things on the suspension, if I want to go faster i'll take tuition ;-) The ohlins are fantastic by all accounts, although very pricey.
Add in LSD, Baffled Sump, Black Wheels, Aero screen, stainless steel fixings, it all starts to add up, but very much depends on if the car will ever see a track ? also what your realistic budget is. A good track/road car will be £52k +
Finally 350 upgrade, traction control, boost control, launch are nice to haves but not essentials, 350 upgrade can be added later .. respect the car and learn to control it and you'll never need traction or boost control ... However some prefer the added safety of the driver aids, also depends on your experience of a high performance car, the Atom in 320 form is other-wordly ..
[mention]Jonathon555[/mention] Might be worth posting your location, pretty much any owner will take you out and spend hours talking through their specification and reasons ..
