Default suspenshion and 18 wheels

Ok got some 18" oz and had to bend to spring platform to get them to fit been like this for some years no problem. But as the Konis have been on the car noew for some 6 years i thought i would change them so what other kits can you buy that dont need to bend and reweld the spring seat ??

I was going to buy a full koni kit from woodford yesterday and they said that koni only do 1 type of kit and you will have to bend the spring cup

I like coilovers but had them on a other car and they are a bit much for the Road i think

I bashed my cups in with a club hammer, and had a klonking noise ever since i think. so i wouldnt recomend going down that route, but im going for a set of blistein coilovers next year and having the softess setting for road use, and put em down if i ever go on track..
