I hate to say i told you so, thought they would rub. None the less they look very nice and i think you did a brill job especially doing the arches yourself! Well done that man!  :wink: Im a great beliver in splashing the cash so id say go for coilovers! Then you can choose your hight and dampness.

OK then.. Coilovers it is... Need some that are height adjustable and stiffness/dampness adjustable... Recommend any?

Dont really care about ride, as long as it handles well and doesnt rub i'll be happy.

Ive got KONI's which i would recomend anyday. There the more expensive of the bunch though. If your on a bit more of a tight budget you might be better going for a set of FK's

Ive just brought some Apex coilovers which are full adjustability of both damping and ride height. So this should do what i want... they retail for £499 + VAT i phoned around a few places, 1st call - £586 + 11.95 Del, 2nd Call 527.70 + 10 Del. 3rd call £535 + 10 Del.. so pretty much the same price everywhere.. i just got a brand new set on ebay for £341 + 10 Del. 186 cheaper than i could buy them for elsewhere....

Dilema is now.. do i sell them on or do i fit them to the car???

Was gonna cut some more arch off the rear of the car to allow me to lower it slighty more. Then fit the coilovers lower it slightly more and make it stiff as F*ck so i didnt get much travel so it didnt rub...

Watcha Recon???
