What coilovers ?
Looking at getting some as the wheels are rubbing on the front of my current setup ( not coilovers ) and was hoping for some advice as I've heard some horror stories about some , any input gratefully recieved cheers

i tried some on mine and they were awful for everyday use,took em straight off, cant remember what poundage the springs were but i didnt get on with them at all,you will prob have to "modify" the rear turrets as well for clearance,if you do fit some make sure you lather them up with grease or copperslip etc as the threads and adjusters will seize up in no time

I have GAZ coilovers too, can not fault them at all. Got them set just right in height and stiffness all round. RADMANS right though if you do get some "lube em up" good style!

Yes I have heard that "minor" adjustment is needed on the rear and as such was even considering only fitting the fronts but have been persuaded that the improvement is worth the hassle, sorry, I should have posted this is not an everyday car but will not be an out and out track car either, thanks for the advice so far fellas.

I have GAZ fitted on mine, Got them from Cozzyman on here. Can't fault them at all. I use the car most weekends and some evenings during the week. Had a Koni set up before and no looking back. They're a tad stiff over shopping centre speed ramps alright but you'll get over that "Pardon the pun"

i was in the same position 3 mths back , gaz was the only company to offer me different spring rates for road use, still thinking of it but i got round it by fitting wheel spacers to the front and longer stud's, the car sits / looks better, but i still may go to gaz, love the way it drives so don't want to upset it ???
