Very intriguing. Look forward to hearing how the install goes and what your initial thoughts are over the V2.

What have you done to the sway bars (roll bars) to reduce the strong tendency of rolling at least up front with the c43??
P.S. I like the bucket seats very much. Wondering if I should go for this for weight saving and better seating. Did you use the standard runners or have to get some bespoke stuff?

sway bars are factory the suspension kit will reduce roll but until I get it on track I'm not completely sure

It appears to be compensating for a smaller diameter spring in the competition kit. Looks like the V2 spring and sleeve could fit over the stock spring locating feature on the car, while the Competition spring is too small in diameter to fit over that feature. I'm sure they then compensated with a shorter spring length to allow for room for the longer perch.
