It's a harder ride, but not bad like most people like to scare you with, roads round hear are not great in places but not a problem since the change. Also not had the koni probs that some people have mentioned...guess it's down to an older bad batch..the car Handles much better on 18's compared to the 17's, when you engage sport mode the suspension comes into it's own along with a much better hold on the road feeling than standard. I literally threw it in to a corner I test all my cars on when I had it done and noticed the difference, had more confidence. Had the 180 map anyway so no change there, but they did update it for me with a slightly newer one from Turin. Fully floating disks...defo worth it! Seeing as you have the Brembos anyway...I toyed with the idea of doing it but I can say I am glad that I did go for it, some people might say different but seeing as I have a Supersport with the esseesse kit it was something no one else had done at the time, would be nice to have company! I believe having the kit it what it should have been like anyway, but they gotta get your money somehow eh? Only thing I would advise is not to get the white wheels, they look amazing but unless you clean them every day! And I mean every day, the brake dust makes they look soo soo bad, I have titanium and personally it goes well with my campo great and black stripes. Just my two pence...
