Performance Pack. Is it worth it ?

5K seems a whole heap of cash for bigger wheels, breaks and adjustable dampers. Most cars (all my audis and mercs have had them on as standard) these days seem to have adjustable dampers. I like the idea but does it really bring any benefit. The 20s are a £900 upgrade so 4k for brakes and dampers. I did wonder if there would be a software upgrade to increase the power on the Performance Pack later on like Tesla.
This is the good thing about it taking bloomin ages for my company car people taking an age to allow me to order. It gives me time to spec properly

I understand why they wrote that, but they could have made it clearer. There might be issues if you set the front really soft and the rear hard for example. I think they're trying to avoid anything like that and instead made that blanket statement.

Anyway, it's -so- easy to do yourself if you want to fiddle with it. You can do all four corners in about 20 minutes and you don't even need any tools.

I have had the one pedal driving activated until i got into the car yesterday and the car was stuck for a bit when trying to back out of my parking spot.
Turned off now and done a bit of resting my left foot on the brake pedal whilst coasting. '

Really enjoyed the one P driving though.. But I think I am going to leave it for sunny dry days :)

Waste of time (certainly in regards to solving this problem). The car uses the physical brakes whether you have OPD enabled or not.

well i have it turned off now and Its still the same weather and I have not had the "lockup" of the brakes after I changed the settings?
So maybe you use the brakes more with the OPD off?

My 1996 850R was pretty stiff factory, but I put progressive springs and Ohlins all the way 'round on it - and dropped it about an inch and it is way stiffer than the P2. My wife hates it but it is stuck to the road. On smooth pavement it is on rails, but if it's rough it will jar your teeth loose. ;-) Compared to stock, I think it was about the same.
