Standard B roads maybe a little some badly looked after tho

well generally the lower the centre of gravity the better things handle, its the ride quality that gets worse

but as the broster says it really depends on the type of road you use

You ask the same question every week.

60mm will handle worse than 40mm on the roads and on the track unlessy ou have the geometry set up properly, which i doubt has been done, eed adjustable top mounts to help adjust the castor angles etc...

Gaz is available from Gaz..... and i think tweeks do it but go direct.

i will have pics of koni yellows next to avo coilovers soon, next week maybe even sunday....

i would not go for coilovers unless they were very cheap or you wanted to go very low, i just feel they are not suited for road use at all

Where can ya get Gaz coilovers?

First off anybody got a pic of a Coilover Next to a damper? Second if i still wanted to keep my car at the -60mm or lower Ish would you go coilover (FK Silverline)? or Koni Yellow/Billy and Drop it on Custom springs at almost £100 per set?

When i ask places like Courteny Ect they reply to Emails saying we would never recomend a 60mm Drop as this fooks up the Handling.

Funny that since i droped mine and put the ET 42 wheels on i never once now loose the rear end and if anything does go the whole car slides on all four wheels.

Help me
