That would be great if you could check with Parr Big E 118. Thanks!

No, never use the harder setting on the suspension as you say it's unusable.

I do track the car and never even used it there but haven't found that the car rolls or dives too much under heavy braking.

I've only heard good things about the DSC controller, maybe I should give it a go.....

Yes if you could check with parr that would be great, I have been unable to get through.
Usual price for the unit is USD1195 and have seen they throw in shipping. So that's around £970 at the moment?

Parr quoted me much more than that, can't find the email now but around £1300 as I recall.

Doesn't surprise me, better to maybe deal with TPC direct. Does anyone have a contact there?

I tried out a DSC unit from a friend's 7.2 GT3 on my 7.2 GT3 (completely standard). DSC really improves handling, traction and compliance on bumpy UK roads, and makes PASM Sport usable (unusable normally on UK roads) when you want the extra degree of sharpness. Steering is sweeter too as the car is not jumping about as much.

Loved it.

The plastic casing is a touch light and seems flimsy, but superb product.

Hi all
I have spoken to Parr about a UK group buy.

They are willing to do a deal if we can get around 10 purchasers. The issue at the moment is that the £ is so weak against the $ so has pushed up the prices this end.

If I can get firm numbers then they will work out a price based on the FX rate at the time. So who would definitely be interested and is anyone an FX trader who can give us a hint on what the £vs$ rate will do after Fridays inauguration!!

SFO, are you the same SFO that was on the old Petrolhead Nirvana tours? White GT3? If so I spent some time struggling to keep up in Wales (red M3) and Brittany (White Boxster Spyder).

Anyway I'm in on the UK group buy, who else?

If it is £1300 in UK even with say 10% off it is still more beneficial to buy from US no?

I am working with a US dealer. Not sure prices yet, but who is interested from the US?
