gave it a nice drive today, remembered the ride, its terrible its currently on standard shocks with 40 or 60 mm lowering springs, currently handles like jelly coilovers needed!!!!

Why not just fit a good quality set of shocks and keep the springs you have already got.

want something more adjustable for what wheels i got planned, also just found out they are updated shocks awswell forgot the make now, but there not standard, and not that good either.

In that case try to avoid cheap / budget coilovers, not worth fitting on a VR as the engine weight will kill them quick.

see what happerns when my student loan comes though ;)! whietec i think if not budget ones would be fk ak street

I'm running these on the front and SPAX PSX Kit on the back.

I'm impressed with them!

why not just full coillies?

I had a full SPAX Kit but the fronts were rubbing, my mate was breaking a 16v and they only had front coilovers so i took them at bargain price  :smiley:
