Want to put the car on coilovers and have seen the cheap kits on eBay. Anyone tried these as I am concerned about the fronts as I didn't think that you could separate the hub and shocker? Do they still work like a standard coilover? (kit comes with replacement shockers to insert into hubs)

The cheap kits on eBay are cheap for a reason, they're crap don't bother with them.

if you want coilovers then try GAZ as they build them but they will need your current struts to do it properly.

or you allways buy a 2nd hand set of struts to send to them so your car ain't off the road to long.

also GAZ coilovers are around £1000 though I could be wrong.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
