Can't wait to get them fitted and see how they feel, should be a good improvement with the external reservoir...
Although I have come pletely mullered my hub and shaft on the front passenger side. The shaft snapped clean off and the splines have twisted in the hub making it impossible to remove. We tried heat, sledge hammer, penetrating oil etc!
So now I'm looking at doing my 5x114 conversion. Does anyone have any cheap 17" 5x114 wheels?
My ramp bottom bearing exploded so was trying to work off my trolley jack and let alone the mess in the workshop. I can't even get it in the door at the moment.
So I spent the day tidying up and painting the floor. Ramp will be repaired next week so I will be able to get the scoob up and do my shafts etc

lol, I'm still here. Just waiting for the word that the car is ready!
If by some strange turn of events you end up removing that suspension from your car. I will be more than happy to take the EXE-TC's off your hands!
It's not on yet. Had a slight issue with one of them with a slight mist of oil. So I am currently stood in exe tc watching them rebuild it.
Absolutely brilliant customer service, I've turned up unannounced, they have dynoed my set, found the problem and fixed it all while I stood here having a chat and watching them. Answering all my stupid questions at the same time.
I'm really impressed and would recommend them to anyone
So recently I picked up some Exe TC fast road external reservoir coilovers.
I wanted to make sure that everything was good so I dropped by EXE-TC's head quarters in Exeter. I dropped in and had a chat with Joe who had a look over them and wanted to investigate one of them
So he invited me in to see what they do. He put it on a dyno that simulates all kinds of road surfaces, camber changes etc and logged the fault to a worn seal on the piston.
After discussing the options we decided to do a strip down and rebuild. I was expecting a week or so but they pushed on and stripped it before I even got back from the loo!
3 hours later and I have a fully rebuilt shock and got a tour round the workshop and got to watch them do it.
I have to say it was absolutely amazing to see and talk to the guys, they all have such a passion for the work and pushing the boundaries. They did a top job and I won't be using any other suspension on any of my cars!
Irs a tough one. I may consider it in the winter though if I can't get on with them.....
It's going to take a lot of tweaking to get a set up I like I think. I am so used to the car been "wrong" with crashy hard leaking teins and lots of over steer at every opportunity I've just got used to it.
