Is this the one you told me about then?

Did you manage to keep the wheels from the white one?? They would look nice on there  :wink:

I would not run coilovers but a nice 40mm drop Koni kit, will help the handling and looks.

Shame about the wheels Mate, they looked well

Go for the 40mm mate,

Works for mine and still comfy enough, it made mine look as though it actually has an engine in it  :smiley:

My kid brother has just bought a similar car to mine with standard suspension and side by side it looks so much higher

Yeah Mate,
They shouldn't cost too much and at least at 40mm your shocks won't take too much of a battering  :wink:
