I replaced them with the HEL ones and when i purchased them sum 7 years ago they were just plated steel. On a bit of a side note check that t...

Re: Can Cusco top mounts be refurbed?

I would of thought so, I've had both Tein and buddy clubs in pieces and they both use the identical spherical bearing. I swapped mine over so I've not purchased any yet but i'am sure any good bearing supplier should have them.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Sorry - but which Coilovers??

I've been running Buddy clubs for a few years and i've got to say they were quite good while they lasted.....which wasn't long. In all due respect these are a more track biased coilover and regular road use(probably 98% of the use on my car) has eventually killed em. There still on the car but creak...

Re: Low MR2's, oh and hello :)

I'd say the white 1with the Diamond racing wheels is lowered more. The 1 below may look lower but as we no side skirts/bumpers gives that illusion,put the same kit on that stock body and it be sat on the tarmac. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll247/Strokd_GE/DSC_0293.jpg http://www.drifting.com/...

Re: check this track car on race cars direct
