Title: Coilovers and stuff
Post by: richy on 07 February 2006, 07:38

Hello.  I'm baaack.  Moved house and changed jobs so been away from the site for a while, but I've returned.  :cool:

My shocks need replacing soon, so I thought I'd ditch the lot and go for coilovers.  Can any one recommend any good brands.  I'm pretty near Awesome-Gti in Warrington but not sure which ones to get.

Cheers,
Rich.

if you pop into awesome and speak to Ade, he'll probably recommend the FK Highsports, its a good value bit of kit.

how much is good value?  :laugh:

also, to stiffen up the ride and improve handling do you need strutbraces and anti roll bars?

Anyone gone for wheel spacers too, to make the wheel really fill up the arch?  I see that awesome-gti sell some.  :smiley:
