Soooo...does nobody own any coilovers or something?

"upside down" shock absorbers for cars?can (if made properly) reduce the unsprung weight of the front wheel quite significantly which gives the bike better handling. with around 90-110K miles, i imagine the suspension would benefit from a good overhaul. I am hoping to have something that isnt too sport focused, but something that is slightly firmer, lowered with good ride comfort in my backwater welsh roads! the quality is high, sometimes so are the prices."developed" (i say it in inverted commas because there isnt any car-specific testing and development, which is why the damping is so so poor) and manufactured in Taiwan and China. the problems arent a function of poor manufacturing standards, they are a function of the people designing them having no idea what damping a car requires for good performance, comfort and durability, and targeting profits over quality. the top European American and jap brands have a long history in dampers, and that is the difference in quality and performance.... See More but if a Taiwanese company tried to build a Formula 1 car the same as the Brawn GP from last season they would fail, miserably. the reason being that there is decades of knowledge and experience behind the success of an F1 team, and the same applies to the components on the car (e.g. dampers in this case). you cant just manufacture something based on simple ideas and visual appearance and expect it to perform the same as the products from companies that have been doing it for decades at the highest levels of motorsport (which is where pretty much ALL of the major development occurs). what kind of serious motorsport does Taiwan have? breaks tyres 
....? Completely appreciate your reply, makes alot of sense but i can't afford that extra right now in any case. Prob a bit overkill for road use, not comfortable in the slightest but make a pretty good road/track car. What is the intended use for yours? In my experience there is almost allways a reason why some things cost a little more than others. Also bare in mine that you could fit the Tein edfc, got it myslef and love it! Where would be the best place to get them from? There are a few of the bushes that are a pain, the old ones needed burning out. Dont mean to put you off but it can be a task. I've heard that the TRD ones are a good in between. If they seem ok I wouldnt worry, its alot of cash and work to replace them all. I'll have a look later when i'm not in work! 
.. yet!.. The BC Coilovers come with top mounts, so if you get them, you'll save money on the top mount side of things, freeing up cash to sort the bushes if they need it! i thought about it and for price of teins i could buy the coilovers,bushes and brakes. Happy days, you thinking of getting BC suspension too then?£650 Just waiting for them to arrive now
Got my coilovers from a guy called CS who can be found on the 350z website or cougar store. Doesn't advertise MR2 parts for some reason but apparently has a fair supply of them. Eh well!
