im in the same situation now myself and have the same amount to spend. The car i bought is knocking on the rear and has cusco coilovers on and from what i hear the parts are only available from japan and its better to get a new set :wonder:
shortlist is -
meister
tein
bilstein (obviously more expensive)

thanks for the reply. I have a jdm hawk so assume i need the 2.5 litre variant due to the car being 114.3 instead of 100 pcd. Do these bilstein kits or KW kits need top mounts? the car came with cusco coilovers so obviously dont have any of the standard stuff on the car :cry:

If you get them from demon tell them you want the ones that measure 75mm on the fork on your strut.

As said above oe top mounts will be fine.
Alyn at a performance can give you advice.

just seen these made by kw with top mounts seems a good price tbh... any thoughts?

no problem i will speak to him tomorrow at some point, oe top mounts might be the best option as it might give more reliability in the long run.

thank you

They list one set at £950ish but bet they are out of stock..but if you want widetrack they are £1400+
