Yeah Im still speccing shocks for my new shell, rose joints, really stiff springs, no body roll etc etc. Let me know how you get on and how they ride. What do you think the problems are/what you struggling with, lack of grip?

TEV is in the paint shop this week getting the doors painted after de-locking at last. Looking tidy and running nicely, Jay loves the kick from the boost
Thanks for the offer Pete need a ride in a stripped cossie on Coilovers, just need something shonky to roll mine around on for now though, let me know before you chuck your old AVOs please, as I need a set ASAP.
