It has seemed to help with steering immediacy but I also had the alignment re-done the day after so can't really comment.
I still get the odd noise but it's nowhere near as bad as before so I'll take any improvement I can get to be honest.
It was the Tyrolsport Kit. Olly B helped fit it.
You don't really need another opinion mate, if it's clunking then it's going to be the subframe so I would suggest just getting it done if you are suffering.
Sooo couple of things have gone on which are relatively exciting... I guess?
With the help of a couple of mates we tried to do the rear arm bushes and replace them with Powerflex Polyurethane bushes. However the bolt was completely seized and we could not get it out for love nor money. So I'm going to buy a new bolt so we can cut it out and go again. When we do it again we are going to do a carbon clean.
We did manage to fit the Tyrolsport Deadset kit as well as new bolts all around and that seems to have cured the REALLY annoying clunks and subframe shifting I was getting.

Went to the Autosport International Show on Saturday and bagged myself the following at the DemonTweeks stand.
- Schroth Clubsport ASM 4 Point Harnesses x 2
- FIA Approved Mounting plates x 4
- FIA Approved eyelets x 4
Harnesses were supposed to be £140 + vat each, mounting plates were 5 quid or so and eyelets a couple of quid. With postage and VAT it would have all together been around £350.
Got the lot for £294 delivered, so that's really good deal!
Except in black - I'll be painting the harness bar blue so didn't want to do too much.
And also on the Sunday I managed to get myself a cracking deal!

Sold the wheels and tyres cheaply to friends, as the wheels do not fit over my brakes and I don't want to have to run spacers (I've sold all 4 of mine).
