You must have very bad roads, I've had cusco and tein coilovers and black and yellow bilstein. I found the BC racing coilovers the most comfortable. As Pete has said, there is always a compromise

Yeah I'm a Southerner, I'm in milton keynes shep .. I was talking roads in general .. mk just had a major push (motorway wombles blocking the road measuring pot holes :eye: ) .. and loads of retarmacking done in the last month.

I dont think its just a Scottish thing having bad roads .. I think its just a country wide government fail in general .


And yeah would love to meet you at a meet at some time .. cant wait to see your car finished :thumleft:

the evo forum says the same for these coilovers ohlins is up there but such a big debate on them. they claim and have been tried and tested to be even more softer then oem suspension at the same time being firm and responsive and reflex to rally roads well so i would assume that is true so there is no compromise on comfort and handling that what they say but I dont know but I hope so.

I heard meister r are quite a good budget coilovers and on my friends s2000 it was just like oem softness but handled well...?

thanks!

i was going to buy the new gtr but when i drove it, it was like driving my merc e250 autos suck and are sooo boring yes its fast yes it handles but i rather have a merc then a gtr as you get the comfort and luxury the gtr is not fun so whats the point of even driving it. I bought a evo x manual instead but its still i dont want to say a bit boring too.

the mr2 is so much fun why sell... my next car i would consider is the gtr ultima shahids got one and wow its so nice

DONT SELL IT... unless you really need the money

the turbo was flipped around to allow space for the charge cooler and the induction kit pipe and cone is shorter by a foot making it more efficient.

but i really was thinking of rotating the chargecooler abit to allow extra room for the pipes. To be honest the engine lid is the main problem if i changed it then there wouldnt be a problem.
