Only because I told him to . The rears are WAY too hard . Chris will sort you out - but you'll have to buy them through him .

kelv as i said when i went in your car, your car feels very comfortable, not a savage ride at all.

personally i wouldnt change it unless the back end is bad on track?

225 rear springs will have the car hopping and skipping on bumpy back roads .

its exactly as you say mike, isnt to bad overal but is a bit harsh in my opinion when its not on a smooth track or motorway!!

Mike, any chance if you dont mind, could you maybe PM me the spring ratings you sugest for the coilovers as i can pick up the springs tomorrow maybe!
