Got billies on the 3dr think there to soft.

used konis in the past with powerflex bush's and a uprated diff hanger

completly transformed the car

Tryed a few of those nylon (really hard bushes) not on a cossie but a series 1 and what a diffrence that made ride was really harsh tho.

it eliminates the sag you get in the back of the car and basically tightens everything up you would be amazed how much movement you get throught the back even with a new standard item. im sure there's more to it but thats all i know

its a MUST.... change it for a uprated one and you will see a big difference

Default your coil overs

What brand coil overs do you have, what rate of spring and do you want to sell them. If so how much do you want for them.
