Right, looking for a bit of advise on what to get done next to the car.
Ive got enough money to get the car chipped. APR chip plus cruise control will be getting fitted, but I am a little reluctant to get this done due to the continual engine problems that I am having.
Or....
Do I get a suspension kit, probably a non adjustable bilstein kit, and a set of 17" alloys.
Also what is the best cheapish suspension kit to get, the bilsteins?

since getting a chip it has shown the suspension needs changing as you can pick up speed so quickly - my next job is lowering but in terms of safety it should really have been done with the brakes.
i have a set of PI springs to put on as no-one has tried these on a beeza turbo that i know of so i thought i would be the guinea pig
I know someone who has....
won't say who. but it's erm. pogo like.
he's close to the source.

hopefully get em on for track day although they won't really be settled, but i can see how they go -
may be some cheap springs for sale by March 10TH then !
sorry its a bit late mate but PI springs are'nt that clever i have had them on my beeza for about 8-10 months and the car sways under hard cornering you find yourself leaning to the oposite side that your turning...had mine lowered 30mm
Carlos you mention your "car sways under hard cornering you find yourself leaning to the oposite side that your turning" did you change you shocks as well or left the standard ones on, i also have Pi they come cheap so you cant really expect they will perform like a set of H&R's or Eibach's.
If you want to stop the swaying you'll have to change the shocks and use a anti roll kit like big stew.
I did go for the cheaper option and get just the springs, so once ive fitted my 17" alloys that ive been saving forever for i will get new shocks and maybe new springs, have to see how the funds are.........:( :( :(
