decided it was time i sorted my suspension out today, so removed the shit knackered avo coilovers, and got my shiney new koni adjustables out and 60mm springs, only did the rear as i need to order a few little bits of rubber for the front... the car handles so much better now i have lost the spacers which were needed to clear the coilovers on the rear! got 60mm rear springs as the car is stripped, sits about 40-50mm. handles better already and is very comfy! just need the fronts on, then ill change my discs and pads to ones that will work! ill get pics of the old coil overs later! they were messy!

I thought they 'clicked' round so you could adjust both sides by say 3 clicks and know they were both the same?
