What coilovers did you go for in the end dom??It will look sweet once shes lowered  :cool:

The hotuning ones that you sent me the link to. Money is pretty tight at the moment and for the money i'm not too bothered if the ride is a bit harsh! I made them an offer of £135 which they counter-offered £140 so thats what I paid :smiley:

Hopefully they'll be here by friday and i'll try and get them fitted fri night!

Right so earlier my coolant warning light started flashing so I pulled into a mates house (which I happened to be outside), popped the bonnet and sure enough the coolant was low. Topped it up and problem solved  :smiley:

Something else caught my attention while the bonnet was up. About 4-5 weeks ago I had a new dizzy fitted to try and cure the 5k rev limited problem, which didn't work. I now know that this is because the muppets at the garage hadn't plugged the hall sensor back in  :angry: :angry:

So I plugged it in and it now revs all the way to the redline  :smiley: :smiley:
