I've got a full set of Cusco coilovers I might be willing to get rid of... the fronts want rebuilding... but the rears are spot on... the pillow ball mounts are noisey, but they all are... There sat in the shed, just wanna clean up...
If you wanna pm me??? might be able to sort out something...

Sell the coilovers and get some Sti/P1/Koni/Bilstien struts.
Unless you race, I reckon coilovers are a waste of time......and they leak, bang, crash etc.

The trick with coil-overs is to get the spring rates right for your car, ie shopping car or track day star, and to get the damping rate right to suit them.
Get these factors right and they are great.
For normal quick and safe driving the Sti parts will take a lot of beating.

Good advice.I spent a good few quid on Leda, it rattled, it rusted, it broke. In the end I chaned it for adjustable Koni struts of a 968 CS.

bttt for Zetecturbo... up to you mate there here if you want them, PM would be nice... I think there cheap enough at £100 for the the lot, although the fronts do want new seals... its certainly cheaper having the rears off me than buying all new...
