just buy the £170 sets on ebay, people say you get what you pay for! when i can afford coilovers im just guna buy them as im not really bothered about how it feels, just bothered how low it will be and what it'll look like

i was bored on my day off college tuesday so i tried two of the expressions on
i was pretty gutted about how high they made the car look..
me being an idiot didnt realise that if i would have just took the handbrake off it would have dropped to were it should be.. (only realised once i put my old wheels back on)
my dad also finished the last wheel yesterday so all four wheels are referbed and ready to go on, they look amazing!
i will be fitting them the end of this week, just need to give the last wheel some time for the paint to set

They look very good mate! Tyres are massive
I did an autobot badge on the front, becoming pretty common now though I saw loads with them on at trax.
If i were you I'd get a griffin or an opel badge depending what route you plan to take

my car has been lower on the right hand side for a few days so i thought it needed a new rear shock and now driving back from college the front right corner was making a hell of a racket so when i got back my dad had a look and the spring has snapped.. so i need new shocks on the rear and new springs on the front.. and my dad doesnt agree with lowering so he will only buy me standard springs :/ looks like im going to have to wait till i pass my test to lower it

tell him to buy you coilovers, on the promise that you wont lower the car and just keep it a standard height! then gradually when he's not looking, lower it mm by mm = PLAN
