Its been a while since any update and with trying to buy a second home I managed to sneak some coilovers passed the wife that get fitted Wed next week. After 5 weeks on order (before house) they finally arrived yesterday, the box is still sealed sorry no pictures until tomorrow, Apex RDX not the most expensive coilovers but something different.

So had my first ever coilovers fitted Wed by my local indy garage, I went out today to get some pictures.





I must say I am impressed with these RDX's, not harsh in any way at all, very close ride to my old B12 kit but lower. The garage said I had at least another 60mm on the front left and the rear is all the way down so I could take the adjusters out if I wanted it lower.
For a mid priced set of coil overs I am impressed

I went round to measure something at the new house last night, reversed onto the drive and this........ SCRAPE......



I think I need to approach at an angle until I sort this.

Not so nice with the driveway! I have to do the same at ours go in at an angle and straighten up at the last second - works most times!

It has been a while with moving house, building, decorating and new job, not a lot has changed apart from the mileage now on 165000 and it sailed through the MOT on saturday without any advisories.
New tyres were needed for the MOT and went for Nexen N Fera SU1's of the 215/40 variety, pictures to follow.
