Fitted the UB this morning.  :happy2:

btw I have a Milltek TBE and didn't need the spacer kit.

....That's helpful to know  :happy2:

I have a custom round box on the exhaust pipe because there's so little material inside my back box, so I might still need my spacers - We'll see next Thursday 14th.

Did some more 'testing' of the XB today on a particularly fast stretch of dual carriageway which you can carry a lot of speed into with rises and kinks and therefore subjecting the car's body to flex. Whereas my car always feels safe through there, it does have a tendency to show what I can best describe as 'nervousness' - The car stays on course but there are small amounts of movement which test my determination and are somewhat exhilerating! However, as now expected with the XB, all that 'nervousness' has disappeared and it feels rock steady at these high speed kinks even when overtaking through them when it is obviously important to stay in lane and not take the other car's door handles off! It's a short stretch of only about three quarters of a mile but one which is very satisfying to attack.

What is left for the UB to bring to the party, I wonder?

I wish I had bought an XB a while ago when there was an opportunity but I'm enjoying its definite benefits now. I now don't understand those who say it's not of much benefit.

E30Dom:
Nice one Robin! :happy2: Really glad you are feeling the benefits of the XB... I am also loving mine, even on standard suspension, it feels even more planted and stable and turns in so much more precise...

When can I say I told you so...

What I am deducing from further spirited driving with the XB is that the roadholding itself isn't necessarily greatly improved but that the stability and feedback is greatly improved and even more driving enjoyment is gained from my already good suspension setup.
