Wasn't sure if I should post this in here or the traders section, kind of hoping more people read it in this section. I was booked in to abp on Tuesday first thing to get the Frsu done, arrived just before half eight, keys were taken and off the car went. Ten mins later the mechanic returned to inform me that the additional knocking noise was caused by my daft mechanics fitting the springs upside down making the top mounts to be, well, not fitted properly. Slightly annoyed but hey stuff happens :(.

So booked back in for today and left the car wed night. Picked the car up after work, 7pm and off I went. If you have ever been to abp you will know the roads are pretty good, minus the speed cameras of course. What a transformation, better ride, feels flatter round bends, hardly any body roll, turn in is improved, just feels 'yeah' if that makes sense?.

So my overall experience.

With never using abp before and only hearing great things about them I would both use and highly recommend using them. Knowledgable, helpful, prices are good, coffee also good too. Oh and people get the Frsu done, it's as good as the hype :). I'd also like to add that I dealt with dave and he is a credit to abp, thank you. So that's it, no breathtaking story or an Oscar winning write up on a company, just an honest opinion. Another quick one thank you to the mechanics too, they often get overlooked and let's be honest they fix the cars, seem like they have a good bunch their, a rarity.

Thank you guys and keep up the good work :)

I am running DS2500's on the front mate and EBC Yellow stuff on the rears.
I would avoid getting the yellow stuff pads though as they are very dusty, Ferodo DS2500's all round would be ideal [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]
