51-907-003 Painting Front Spoiler Sport Rear Silencers are not part of the engine conversion, but manufactured in lightweight stainless steel, they improve the aural quality of the exhaust, and whilst they still meet the criteria of the European D4 noise limits, the tonal change improves the sound to a deep rumble. Most Hartge rear silencers are availeable with dual round or oval tailpipes. An export version is also available for a slightly louder and more aggressive sound Sport Suspension springs are stiffer than standard, yielding benefits in both roll and cornering poise, and are lower by approximately 25 mm. Our chassis development partners have tuned the ride height balance between the front and rear axles to minimise the inherent under-steer of the standard chassis. Ride quality is retained as with all of our chassis solutions. Other options are available, including both fixed rate and fully adjustable suspensions and anti roll stabiliser kits.
