I’m off to Mulgari in the morning to get the ACS springs fitted, looking forward to that.
Let us know what you think of the new springs. Thinking of getting mine done at Rossiters in Kings Lyn. Heard nothing but good stories though so fingers crossed!

Yeah I’ll give some feedback later. Only concern I had is bumpstops being hit but I’ve asked on here & also asked where I’m having work done & while a couple on here have said bumpstops have been hit, everyone else has said I won’t have a problem.

Just had the first look at the car with the springs on, very happy with the height & stance of the car, they’ve just taken it for a test drive.

Well, first impressions after a 30 mile drive home, 5 miles of A road & the rest on the M3 are I’m over the moon with the change the ACS springs have made, the car feels like it should have in the first place, body roll is reduced massively, the drip makes the car look a lot better also, there’s no harsh ride like I was kind of expecting, yes you do feel bumps a little bit more but it’s nowhere near making it uncomfortable. As others have pointed out with ACS springs there’s none of the front lifting up & dropping under braking & acceleration, on the A322 there’s an S bend as you approach the M3, the lack of body roll as I took it was very much reduced compared to how it was when I was going the other way this morning.

Overall very impressed so far & really pleased I had them fitted. Apparently they’ll bed in & settle down in a week or 2 but I’m happy with how they’ve started.

Anyone thinking of making the spring change, it’s a from me, go for it.

Also, the guys at Mulgari in Bracknell were great & I have no problem in recommending them for anyone around this neck of the woods.

That's great news! Pleased that you're happy with them and will report in once i've had mine fitted too.

Wished i had them done a long time ago now!

That's interesting. Mine has updated itself while driving at least once a week for the past month recently (did it again last night), but hasn't bothered for the 11 months prior! It's like it's just woken up!
