I have just add Tein springs to my 9 on the standard 9 Bilstein dampers.

It's dropped it a bit without being too low and improved handling. Makes for a good compromise between a new set of adjustable coilovers and its good for me too.

BC Coilover are good too at a reasonable price but understand if you want to go upmarket!

Got Tein springs on at the minute mate and it has improved it but with the dampers being the Genuine VI one's they are a little tired now mate:whistling:

Going over shelford top's is fun but not on landing:whistling:

you cant beat a set of coilovers,why dont we all arrange for a day at blyton. that way when you take turns in each others cars as passengers you can feel exactly what difference each set up makes, brakes, suspension etc.

i have ran BC as well and although they have been poor comments they were perfect for my needs at the time and i never had any problems what so ever

im in for a day on track if anybody else fancies it, passengers seats always free

blytons close for most of us involved in the conversation, its not a competition so would just be a good relaxed day with lots of good banter and some extremely sideways action:D you would without doubt come back knowing exactly what different the brakes, suspension etc made to and evo as you get to see how they perform on track... after doing my first sprint there last month its now my favorite track and im missing it

You know im in too Martin.

Mario have a chat with Martin on suspension etc. Hes very knowledgeable and has helped me make a decision on my brakes.

All depends on budget as to how for you go with coilovers Ohlins are the ones to go for if the budget is high enough, im tight so my budget would never be that high :p
