Klaus Peter, the guy who used to own Shafer BMW here in K-Town just sold the dealership to concentrate on his Mini race team and Mini tuner dealership.

He can do anything you want/need and builds great cars--featured in several German auto mags. I know him pretty well and trust hi.

Then again we an do another pulley party only do shocks/springs...That's something Chris (FWD-MX5) and I are very good at. Chris used to race his old Mini in H-Stock and even went so far as to have all the different versions of "stock" Mini springs checked on a shock dyno and then installed them on his car to try different set ups.

We've probably done 100+ shock installs between the 2 of us.

...be careful though, Klaus Peter will have you convinced you need the full-race H&R setup w/the car cornerweighted plus have a Trexler or Quaife LSD installed plus any of his numerous brake setups and/or engine mods!

It's a vicious cycle!

...I'll be a his shop tomorrow Matty, gotta pick up a cam angle sensor to fix a rough idle on my car.

Why don't we meet there and you can talk to him then we can head over to the place here in my village where my wheels/tires are.

When do you want to meet up?
