Re: Coilovers/suspension

road car also, just do a bit of drifting now and again, but the fronts were so soft the tyres were hitting the wings. i like the ride height, just want it stiff.
currently have Boge gas shocks and eibach springs all round (60-40)

Coilovers/suspension

Ok guys another coilovers/suspension question.

What are you using?
As the cheap £200 coilovers are clearly no use and then the next step up seem to be the £600-£700 gaz coilovers...

Are there any middle of the road decent ones. Maybe in the £400 region?

Cheers

Re: ABS Removal

better yes, but not easyer as all i need to do it pop in the connectors. job done, i think if i dont re install the ABS after the MOT i will just renew the brake pipes like you suggest, but theyre are new pipes already in it.
