we installed the basic kit on GP14 on Saturday. Installed half of the master kit on mine on the Sunday, awaiting for correct part from ES before we can complete the other half

Although I didnt get a chance for an energetic drive around twisties, I did drive GP14's car at 70km/h on rough, bumpy, unsealed roads and the ride was very nice. Was not jarring at all.

So far all rear bushings have been replaced; control arms, end-links, diff, grease zerk (nipples) installed where possible for ease of long term maintenance. Everything on the front is still stock rubber until correct part arrive.

I've had almost a week of to and fro work (~200km), definitely firmer at the rear, seems abit bouncy as well which is something I didn't expect. Just need to wait for the front bushing replacement, a proper alignment then should be able to give it a spirited dash and rate their handling characteristics.
