can't remember of the top of my head Luca, Awesome did it so it might be worth ringing them, I would get them to confirm that the ride height issue has been sorted though :happy2:

have you guys not thought of the new AP coilovers, they are cheap and come with TUV approval. The seat guys seem to have used them a fair amount and have good reviews on them. ive just ordered some for my VRS and im thinking of dropping it 30-35 mm, i paid 350incl tax and delivery, but the prices bare about to increase by around 80 pound soon!!

wont egt them fitted till february but will sure let you kno w how they were

spoke to awesome about these Steve, they supply them, and they suggest they would be better suited to the less expensive end of the market and wouldn't really put them on a quality car, he did add they are good value for money but you get what you pay for :smiley:

My current thinking is between three coilovers, the KW V2, Eibach's or Sach  :confused:

....All three with excellent reputations. The best of all is probably Bilstein, but they cost more! And if you don't do track, probably overkill.

The AP coilovers don't have stainless steel threads either and so corrosion would be an issue :smiley:

Yep I agree about Bilstein's as I am not likely to do more than one track day a year that's why I haven't included them  :happy2:

i think all coilovers with adjustable damping are a lil over kill if not going on the track.
