Looks Great! Front end painted or wrapped? Let us know on the time improvement it made over the eibach springs I bought from you.

As my spare tyre has been removed I loomilo to fill the exsiexis space with a sponge/ foam as it's very light and will muffle the sound of my 100cels, I'll see how that goes could be worth considering from your end if too loud in your cabin

I've stripped nearly everything from the rear interior and can tell you it makes a difference. Also have had the rear seats out and that made the most difference. I was quite surprised by this and have as an experiment considered filling the boot with blankets to see how much impact that would make.
Had another run in the car last night and really impressed with how well the car is handling now. If anyone in Florida is interested in trying it out I am happy to offer.

I am ready for seats but I have to sort the SRS system I think first or there will be errors and possible failure of the front bags which I’d like to retain. I may shed the washer system, seatbelts since I have harnesses and lightweight battery. That’s probably about it without making drastic changes.

That's decent saving
Which Resonators are you running instead of your rear box ?
The more are more I look at my seats the want them gone as they simply do not match the rear (front seats have square pattern & the rear have horizontal patter) plus they also look very bulky .
Big weight saving to had with a set of sport seats

I've a pair of these fitted https://www.magnaflow.com/products/1...rmance-muffler
They weigh about 5 pounds apiece. Although I'm considering minimizing the exhaust further. By the way there was a large weight difference between the factory cats and the spun ones we have now. If you have any ideas regarding the seats and the SRS system I'd be very interested. I spoke with Cameron and he didn't have any experience. He mentioned the ones Jag optioned for the GT which do NOT have airbags fitted. Of course there's always the resistor trick to the seat harness.

Jeremy I'm thinking the resistor trick is our best bet to getting it all sorted as Im still using my rear seats 3-4 days a week I would need the seat to able to fold down and also match the rest of the leather trim (horizontal pattern to match the rear)
In regards to your magnaflow rear mufflers how do they compare (decibals) to the OEM back box
