And will order more soon. I can vouch for @675430VME if you want to order parts. I will meet him in person and hopefully visit Boomgear too. I can maybe do something for the group here together with @675430VME and boomgear if interested via via Dubai shipment, I will work as a middle man for the supplier this way you can avoid tarrifs but obviously price will regleft a little increase due the service offered

Yeah, you can inspect the parts yourself and give your honest opinion if they are worth it. Then if people want these parts Boomgear can ship them to Dubai and TFS redirects them worldwide.

What size sway bars is boom gear carrying?

There are two sizes but I forgot the spec, will have to check with Ryan @BoomGEAR

What ratio will this lead to?

Love to hear more about any benefits of this set up vs stock, beyond ratio change.

I’m obsessed w steering feel. It’s why I got the car, monoballs, mounts and (hopefully eventually maybe) nitrons

I am no expert so I will ask Ryan when he came back from Nurburgring next week. KW offered Ryan a set of customized KW V5 Club Sport to test on Nurburgring, you might want to hear his feedback before committing to a Nitrons. Ryan really likes his Ohlins DFV and TTX, lets see if the V5 can top that.

Boomgear SS and Ti exhaust (fully heat-shielded with valve controller relocation and OBD valve control)

Yes please! Since my titanium exhaust will melt my valve controller for the 3rd time.
What does the wrapped stainless steel and titanium exhaust weigh and cost?

Nifty! Any work on quickening the steering ratio?

I'm sure there are others, but this is personally the first post I have seen about steering ratio. This is one of the few things that I feel needs major improvement from factory. You have me interested in these as well!

I think your issue is that blocked air inlet on top of valve controller, maybe more than the exhaust. A lot of ppl run titanium exhausts, I think your ct trim is rarer

I am very surprised by how slow the steering ratio is especially given the wheel base. It’s a big departure vs other mid/rear engined sports cars I’ve had.

Maybe there’s a good reason for it that I’m unaware of, but I’m not seeing it. It also exacerbates the issues w oem steering wheel shape and offset

THIS ^. My other car has a more aggressive steering wheel and the shape has never bothered me one bit because the steering ratio is significantly smaller/shorter. I also feel like when the wheel is on center, you can turn the center line a full .5-1 inch in either direction before there is any response from the car. It makes the steering feel somewhat sloppy when driving straight and Lotus are known for their steering feel. (A bit disappointed here.)

I would love a faster rack too, that and uniballs, etc.
