Thanks again for everything Ben.

Got to the shop at 12:45pm and Ben immediately started working on the car. I thought I would be leaving at the earliest 5pm but by 3:45 he told me the car was ready to go . Took only 3 hours to get everything done. MSS Springs, Shift Paddles (airbag needs to come off), 12mm spacers, and front reflectors. Ben you are the man!

As soon as Ben drove it out of the shop, he took me for a quick spin around the block and instantly I felt the difference.

In my opinion,

Comfort is now equivalent to a F83 M4 in comfort mode
Sport Plus is now equivalent to X3MC in comfort mode

Yep, agree about this assessment. And, yes, Ben is the man. Sadly, I can't just bring my car to Ben but even my local shop here calls Ben to ask for help with some of the mods on my car (true story, not making this up).

Yes, they are 12mm all around.

Thank you for the kind words.
Working on brand new car is much easier, everything comes off easily.
No rust or old double sided tape to fight.

So, for you guys that are interested in doing front reflector, do it ASAP.
The longer it takes, the more time you'll have to spend in taking off the old double sided tape.

Question - I keep reading reviews that Sport+ on MSS is like Comfort on Stock? I'm concerned that there will be too much role?

One thing I don't like about Comfort on Stock is the role, changing to Sport gets rid of the role, Sport+ even more so, but way too hard. So I really stock Sport for spirited driving.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can answer I've got them installed for the low speed city ride and it's great.

Imran said in his review (my car lol it's on YouTube if you haven't seen it) here there was a bit more roll but perhaps some of the guys who are lucky and able to push the cars can comment. I can tell you cats eyes , pot holes and broken tarmac and speed bumps aren't as much of a problem if at all.

Since I had the springs installed I've only pushed mine on the curves on off and on ramps so far. I do sense a hair of roll but I feel it's offset by the lower center of gravity. I hate roll, and this isn't excessive or floaty to me.

With the MSS kit starting to settle a little bit I decide to post up some photos. I'll throw some down below but feel free to check out a bunch of before and after photos on my build log.

Looks good.

I wonder why the brake caliper and rotor have to come off though.

How's the ride?

Installed a set too today on Vettethret X4MC.
