No, if you buy from a 2.0 conversion expert like PVD, you will be supplied a kit with the correct springs for your engine. | |

My mate has just been quoted £3K from CossVaux for full 2.0 16v conversion on Nova, with engine bay strengthened, gearbox, wiring loom and some bodywork. Not sure what but it aint much, sounds a lot to me. | |

quote: Bollcocks about coilovers. Most kits are purely height adjustable, some are damping adjustable. Coilovers have 3 main advantages, firstly they can be supplied with springs of a high enough poundage for the weight of the engine. Secondly the drop can be set as you want it as some "2.0 springs" out there drop the car about 10mm! Thirdly coilovers offer handling benefits over a shock and springs setup if the car is fairly low. | |

coilovers are the best combination as if u get a normal shox/spring combination they will be crap as the springs will not be stong enough. u will need to get custom springs if ur not gonna do coilovers :) | |

Brakes - either 2.0 GTE disks and calipers (£50 odd from brakers) or V6 Disks and calipers (£200 brand new from v-tunning on mig web) | |
