Shane, must be something quirky with my set. The flat spot is very minor indeed but definitely noticeable when lugging along. Not noticeable however when I'm gunning hard through the gears.

- Cargraphic race/sport street suspension (used in the Tuner GP car)
In 2 words : #!$%ing awesome!! The sound is fantastic and the tuning kit/LWFW combination makes the car a whole lot punchier (not that the stock car is slow by any means). Seat of the pants feel, the horses are for real. The suspension (modified to Cargraphic specs by Bilstein) feels wonderful and rides no harsher than stock. Can't wait to track the car 2 weekends from now. Got a brand new set of Michelin slicks waiting at the track for me too.

Track report
Mods are awesome on track. LWF/clutch kit combined with ECU and exhaust mods makes the car punchier under full throttle resulting in roughly +5km/h vs stock down the main straight at Sepang (topping out at over 240km/h). This I'm sure contributed in part to the 3 sec lap time improvement over my last timed session there(also with full slicks but on the stock suspension) but the biggest gain has definitely got to do with the Cargraphic race/sport street suspension which copes with the full slicks set up a whole lot better than the stock setup. I believe that I have another 2-3 secs to shave off the lap time as I learn how to drive with the slicks in time - trying to tell my brain and rear end to allow for a bit more speed through the bends (stop watching the speedo and just drive the damned car!!!).
I can't sing enough praise about the Cargraphic suspension. It's definitely a lot firmer than stock but the highway blast up to the track was definitely bearable - nowhere near as crashy as the PSS9 can be when dialled up. On track it was absolutely confidence inspiring, with both street and slick tires. What I was a bit surprised to find out was that its combination type setup with H&R coils and unadjustable (but heavily modified) Bilstein shocks. Anyone aware of other tuners who have been heading down this direction? I'm definitely not surprised now that the Cargraphic RS car won the Tuner GP earlier this this year with this suspension.
Next mod now would be proper GT3 buckets to keep me from moving around so much in the seat.
