hi there
just a quick question , ive been offered a set of coilovers for my classic , my standard ones weak now after 147000 miles , i run a set on our rally car and they are good for that .
But what im wondering is do you think they will make the ride to hard on a classic that im using every day to go to work in , mixture of all roads .??? just dont want my teeth to fall out .

any ideas ???

or should i just get a set of new shocks and leave it standard .

cheers rich

er, it depends what coilovers they are? There is no intrinsic reason that coilovers HAVE to be rock hard. Jap ones tend to be stiffer than UK ones IME.

they are Tanabe units, KYB Gas filled struts, Tanabe Springs and Camber adjustable top mounts

Personally, I found coilovers to be too hard for UK roads, but then again I normally drive a Mondeo diseasal as my daily transport. I think you would be better off with standard WRX shocks & maybe lowering springs. The other option is STI shocks or the Bilstein/Ebiach units from a P1/WR Sport.
