Cool

Decent coilovers do cost a bit I'm afraid, cheap ones are not worth it in my opinion, I've tried Bilstein PSS9's ( less said the better! ) now on KW Variant 3's much better well worth the money! about £1150 fitted.

got avo's on mine the ride quality i is ok, but apparently they're a barsteward to fit, also the lack of brake hose holders did'nt help . the car does handle alot better than std and they are pritty cheap. they've had some bad reveiews on here.
