i have a c20xe in mine and im running it on FK highsport coilovers. there really easy to set up. the ride is abit harsher than i would of liked but i gotta compromise somewhere lol. also the rears on the FK's are just rear gas dampers which use shortened springs on adjustable platforms so there isnt any extra stress put on the shock top mount.

so is the rear height adjustable also??
are coilovers more difficult to fit than justnormal dampers etc, and iff you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for your coilovers??
cheers mate

the rear is adjustable on a threaded platform that the rear spring sits on. you simply just turn the platform on its thread to either raise of lower to the desired hight. as mines stripped out i decided to remove the platforms totally as i wanted to get the rear as low as poss to even out the right hight front to rear.
the front coilovers are a straight swap for std dampers. all u need to do is remove the top mount from the old shocks and put them on the coilovers. the hardest bit about fitting them is getting each side the same hight but all u have to do is count how many threads are showing from the bottom of the thread on the shock to the bottom of the spring.
as for price, mine came fitted to the car when i bought it but i believe you can buy the kits brand new for £439 from www.rimstyle.com
