What are Coil overs?
And are they for me?
Noticed a knocking recently at the back, just wanted to know if coil overs would be the suitable replacment and how much I could be looking at to fit. I'm not after extreme top end as I don't track but I am after a strong unit.
Thanks,
Andy

BCs all day long for me. Good value for money and a good range of settings.
I got a deal at £650 for all four corners including the extenders for the rears.
I was in the same boat as your goodself, my rear OEMs started knocking, I thought about just replacing the rears but then I thought, knowing my luck I'll replace the rears and then the fronts will go.
Took the plunge with the BCs and I'm well chuffed
I had mine fitted at Scooby Clinic, I think they were about £200 to fit off the top of my head but them I paid £60 back home to get the Prodrive geo.

Interesting you mention the Prodrive geo, I have Prodrive springs at the mo and don't really want the car lowered as I'm happy with the set up. I assume its the dampers that are fooked so will the BC's maintain the current ride hight handling etc..?
Price sounds good, a colleague paid £1030 @ Subaru. so I'm looking at about £850 fitted for upgrades?

I then had rear camber bolts fitted as mine's a WRX (yours should already have the rear camber adjustment) so that I could have my front and rear camber & toe settings as per the Prodrive recommendations.
It all depends on what you're after. I just like the idea of having the flexibility...oh, er and the grip
