No not coilovers. Fixed 60mm springs with adjustable damp-rate dampers.

The damper is out of a PSX kit, are the RSX kits different at all? If you want it just send me a U2U with details when youre ready :)

seems reasonable but rear individual spax shocks are cheap anyway... I have a spare rear spax adjustable off my old setup. You can have it for £20 delivered...

well am gona send all the dampers back to spax get the refurbed, the rears are a bit soft on one side & the adjuster seems to make no difference.

they quoted me £25 per shock to refurb them, recon its a good price?

if uve got 200lb rated springs with the coilovers then the 2.0 aint gonna drop that much than it is now

Yes I am sure they are coilovers - fitted them myself last year :lol:

wasn't aware they were rated at 200lb though, will keep em to see how they handle, but i'd like to bring the car up a bit when the 2ltr is in

why dont you just wind them up to 45-50mm??? the springs that are in the rsx kit are rated at 200lb, they are plenty hard enough but if you want harder then you can buy springs from rally design for about £15 each. Are you sure you have coilovers?

Currently got the Spax RSX Coilover setup on my car, but given the fact I'm gona be fitting a 2ltr this coming year, would it be ok to keep this, or would it be better to change it.

It's lowered the car 60mm, and is currently on a set of 15's (et38). I'm going to be changing the wheels for another set of 15's (et45-49) when the engine is in, but am unsure wether to keep the spax kit, or change it for another set of coilovers which would give me a drop of around 40mm-50mm.

I'll be needing some harder springs up front too for the extra weight of the 2ltr.
