Bushes are all standard...but replaced regularly. All arms and links are standard too. (Brakes are AP Racing)
Ride height is set about 5mm above standard.

I've fitted a different rear top mount to release an extra ~25mm of travel.
However, aside from that, the front has the standard length of travel.

I might be wrong, but I've always felt that controlled compliance is your friend for speed on real world roads, and that too much mechanical grip can take a lot of fun out of driving.

This is the comparison of a standard SUS MP21 strut with the TPX as it came out of the box before any modifications!

225/55-16?? Or 225/50? Or 205/55?

And compliance is indeed the way to go fast on real roads.
