Hey Guys,

Just be recovered by the AA lol seems one of my springs has snapped.

So now I'm looking for suggestions on what to get.

I actually know the current set up as it was already on there when I gto the car.

I'm not too sure on budget yet so all suggestions are welcome.

Car is used daily and every now and again for track.

Thanks

I used:
200 lb custom Faulkners with group n billies all round (Was great for road/track)

Mate uses:
Rally design coilies with pugsport tarmac dampers and 325lb spring rate and he said that handles great.

Depends if your like me and nick. Who dont mind sacrificing a bit of comfort lol.

Also can someone provide a brief explaintion of spring rates etc

As its mainly a road car I'd say the 155lb springs kam do would be just fine, or get some custom 170-200lb springs. Wouldn't go more than that tho. Then get some bilstein GrpN's or B8s for the front and B8s for the back.
Or get the Gaz coilies kit

if it is a trackcar go hardcore!!!!

if you have money go for a race coilover setup.

if not "take your OME suspencion to a suspencion tuner" and they made a original ones to become a full race setup.
you always have to send the front struts....

i have the 2 types and at the presente time the modified yellow cheepe koni ´s are top performer over the coilovers.
