I've been told i should try a custom spring, do you have to tell them all the dimensions and spec you need and they make it?

i want to run my coilovers with no helper spring and a custom spring on it with the spring seat set to a certain height and then work the length of spring out from that

Did you say boots pretty bad Nic?

I still think you should get rid of stickers on car so we can see more paint. Think it'll look alot cleaner.

What you reckon mate?

keeping side ones for my mate tbh.

boot is wrecked tbh. fibreglass replacement hopefully if i can get to shefflield and collect it. got a rust spot on drivers door as well, rest of it isnt that bad. front bumper doesnt fit right becuase of oil cooler and broken tabs.

someone on ebay was listing fibreglass wings not that long ago actually.

once i get perspex windows in i can remove all the mechanism and inner door bits. will be a good bit lighter then id say. in my thread on migweb we are going on about the weight transfer and how mine drops right down at the back on set off compared to others. think its something ive got to adress as its causing masses of wheelspin. its still a quick car, but it can go quicker than it does im sure of it.
