I not got one to hand but should be swapping the front bushes as soon as they arrive, I'll take a couple then if that helps, might even be tomorrow.

Have to say don't remember mine having anything wrong.

what is everyone's opinions on these coilovers??? I am building a track car on a budget and have been eyeing up these and the janspeed one's on ebay (probably the same?)

not bothered about ride quality, just want firm as possible.... they worth a shot?

i can vouch there firm, i think im over reacting tbh, but as for a trackday car, i dont know.

i am at work now but i will get some pics up of the welds just to see what you guys think


p.s. sorry about the caps on the title :S

Yeah, they are firm, will be fine for a trackday car, but can be a bit much down the country lanes...

I've got the Hot tuning ones on mine, Welds looked alright but can't take a pic now as they are on and covered in waxoyl!

I have mine extremely low see the other thread! The ride is firm but not bottoming out on bumps or small potholes and is still driveable and I'm 18 threads from the bottom on the rear! I think If I wound them up a few I'd be happy throwing it around a track as the change from the springs and shocks on it before are chalk and cheese tbh. It's more composed and feels much tighter through twistys!
