I couldn't even get the RS4s over 110 degrees F that day! I was told I'd likely be ~4 seconds a lap faster on the same setup in sunny 25 deg C weather mid-summer.

In London, I run at the bend and TMP every now and then but haven't made it out on my new tires to the bend yet. I ran a close to 2 minute lap at TMP at the end of October, 0 degrees, pouring rain and old all seasons = drift practice. Thanks for the feedback, do you DD on the coils as well?

I've only been able to see and ride the CSG FLA so far and they are excellent. 949 Racing is currently developing their Xidas and are supposed to have it out by later next year if you can wait.
If you have more questions about the setups I've mentioned you can contact them and they're active on the forums as well.

Thats what I was worried about, I had heard they were pretty good track coils for the money on other cars but if the dampening isn't there for our platform I'll keep looking around, was curious because the price is right. Thank you for the input, the CSG Flex A setup has been on my radar.
