just got full black ghia leather today mines a lx tdci,
the rear bench is different and cant be fixed properly the rear back rests are fine,
the murders were fitting the drivers seat, the lx does not support the ghias electrics had to strip the seats and transfer the covers and foam there a much more comfortable seat.. these are not a straight swop that you would think
now contacted

But they won't even be as low as mine! As the rears are separate springs and dampers they're only really coilovers on the front, and the rears don't even come with adjustable spring cups (as far as I can tell), so you're left with a paltry 35mm drop. The same for the KWs. I'm considering coilovers for the front and some custom spring for the back to give a 50mm drop. I'd love it properly low, but it's a daily driver and is regularly full to the brim with stuff, so I can't go as low as I'd like to.
i was thinking that the front drop on these will be fine but the rears apparently only drop 30 ishmm ive found out and not the advertised 60?mm coilsprings.co.uk can do 4 custom made springs for £150 i was thinking that id use the ap coilover kit junk the rear springs and have coilsprings.co.uk make two custom springs that go about 60mm/80mm (will decide one wheels are on the car )
id still use the ap dampers or id shorten the push rod buy cutting a extra inch off the push rod and re tapping the thread effectively shortening the damper an extra inch or so..
can there be any flaws in this idea have i overlooked any thing obviously there may be arch mods needed..
views and opinions appreciated

Check out http://www.venommotorsport.com/ they have the AP coilovers and KW coil overs
copy of the e,mail attached,
Hi Lewis,
Thank you for your interest in our products.
Unfortunately we don't have a Weitec coilover for your car which would lower the rear 60 mm.
Part number 13230015 would lower the car approx. 35-65 mm on the front and approx. 40 mm on the rear. This kit is also only height adjustable on the front, the rear comes with lowering springs and sport dampers. Suggested retail £564.58 +VAT.
We have a KW coilover which could lower your car by 60 mm, but we cannot promise this, as this lowering is tested on new cars.
KW part number 10230014, suggested retail £790.83 +VAT, front axle lowering approx. 35-65 mm, rear axle approx. 60 mm. this kit also is only height adjustable on the front and comes with lowering springs + sport dampers for the rear.
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards
