Hi CBM, can you advise what the suspension upgrade includes.
I hope it gives the fix people want.

The "kit" is a full set of fully adjustable (damping and ride height) coil over units.
It is not being fitted to new cars, as far as I am aware, as it is an upgrade.
Part numbers & prices:
Front SP160002 £129.47 each
Rear SP170001 £129.47 each
Both are plus VAT and carriage

Thanks from me too !
I'm surprised there's no spacer for the track rod end , I also didn't realise the rear was available as well .

If the ride height is adjusted to make the track rod parallel to the lower wishbone this eliminates the need for a spacer.
The difference is clear from my photograph and the ones posted by Bert Varady earlier in this thread.

It is not being marketed as a "fix" for anything. It is purely a suspension upgrade. I am not sure why it is not common knowledge that this is available. It will be available on the Aero Racing website in the near future as they have plenty in stock.

Well previous 'upgrades' such as the stronger wishbones and improved rear sprockets have been fitted to subsequent new cars and retro fitted either under warranty or charged for labour only.

In that case it will be interesting to see what happens. This seems to be slightly different to the other upgrades you mention, in that the bump steer issue is not the same as a component not being up to the job.
You might feel that the bump steer is a big problem on your car, where as I may find it not to be. My car was perfectly derivable at road speeds, but a low drain cover at 90 MPH did cause more movement of the steering wheel than I would have liked. I could drive one handed at 60 MPH on your average B road no problem, but the next person it the car may not feel the same.

Good news. Funny that about the drain cover had that at the weekend on a dual carriage way which sent me over to the inside lane. Made me smile and clench at the same time
