Going for ECU map and 35mm drop.
Hi Guys
So my car is booked in next week to get the ECU mapped and suspension lowered slightly on H & R's cant wait !
Starting with the ECU, I am fortunate to work with some very clever engineers and have been convinced on the benefits of the ECU re-map. To summerise the ECU in most cars is usually always set up to accommodate multiple countries that the vehicle will be sold to, therefore I know I will not be driving to Africa or Norway any time soon and will get the ECU coded to the country I live in to benefit.
On my particular engine the increase is dramatic as you can see from the graph below, the throttle will be tighter, mpg will increase a little too but the power increase is impressive at 47 more bhp and 51 ft/lbs more torque !
I'm lowering her down too in keeping with the S-line model height, in fact slightly lower with the H & R coil pack.

So got her back after the modification upgrades and OMG !! the car is on a different time zone in terms of torque and speed, it just pulls and pulls !!
H & R's feel great, not harsh and tighter in the corners, she is sitting just right now !
