New coilovers were on the cards since day one really, but unfortunately other things kinda got in the way. So bought these off Dojj here (cheers fella), which have never been fitted to another car. Winner! Mine have seen better days really and are showing their age through my spine

That's it, I'm as happy as I'm ever going to be with it now, don't want to do much else to it except maintain it and keep it forever Just waiting on a carbon accel. pedal off Raj to match the other 2 and to trim a bit of the back floor, but it's pretty much done.

Fitted my new coilovers earlier and did a bit of grinding under the arches on some minor surface rust patches. Feels amazing on fresh shocks

Off with the old...



On with the new...



Ass end needs droping a bit though and the car needs a right good wash...
