*****UPDATE*****
I rang GAZ monday and they gave me the good news that the coilovers were ready!



So last night I went round to my mates where the car has been for the past month.









Instagram "I'm finished" photo


Also yesterday my rear valance arrived:




Today I spent most of the day sorting some brake ducts which were basically left over bits off of my Step dads Cobra so was a slight make it up as I go along job....




Quite well hidden, you can't see it at all when you actually look at the car.






It's not quite settled yet and we've got to play with the torsion bars on saturday so not quite the final height yet but you get the idea!

On a slightly related note, are you using adjustable top mounts?

Cheers Generation!

Nope, 944's have adjustable camber on the shock a bit like Corsa camber bolts and that allows ridiculous camber each way so don't really need adjustable top mounts

Cheers Robin

I gave it a bit of stick yesterday and it doesn't touch at all, going to raise it when I've sorted where the back will sit and get it sitting level. It's only 12mm lower than it was at the front

Cheers Gav, Yeah the fronts don't have the look the rears have, too much tread on them to warrant changing them right now though.

Of course!

That's Ade, I think you met him at MK. It's quite embarrassing as his has the most bhp there and bar the vx220 it dicks on all of ours!

Yeah, I recall him at MK.

His probably sounds the best too if it's running a decent Exhaust system...

Well the old shocks were ruined but it drives lovely, not violently stiff as I thought they maybe! The adjustment in the shocks is great. Still fiddling with how stuff/soft I want it at the moment though
