So, Targa is all over and i've decide to retire the hatch from racing in order to get her out and about on more club runs over summer.

Basically just want to drive her more.

So i rip all the stickers off her, buy a new set of flares from Mr Wilson, get the painter to remove all the stone chips and give her a once over with some fresh paint.

Meanwhile, out come the front springs and in go a brand new set of coils with standard ride height.

Finished her last weekend and she's all ready to go.

So what do i do for my first weekend ...........

Sits very nice for standard height.

I need to do a spring upgrade in the future but I don't want it to be the normal to low for real street use.

What is the rate,supplier,costs of the ones you have?
As they do make it sit well.

Cheers

Hi Evan.

Done no limits a couple of times, good value.
No plans for anything else as yet.

Baron, they are lovells 760 lb standard height a9x springs.
You need to specify and be firm about standard A9X height because for some reason standard height gets you 25 mm low.

Go figure.
