of course you are well aware thar WRC coilovers will not in fact fit your car,WRC cars use a twin bolt rear coilover the same as the front on a group A car,they have proper turrets like the front end so will never fit a standard car,the same with the front,unless they are tarmac in which case they are either 50mm or jumbo 68mm,neither of which will fit a road car.

so you aint got WRC coilovers iam affraid phil.

certainly not trying to diss you,recce car or not its a million miles from a WRC car,not trying to be twatish either but its about time people stop calling road crap group A and WRC,if you saw a WRC set up you would understand,dont take offence,
