nearly there dude.. Will post and update soon !!! =-)

we have had good results fitting aftermarket KYB's if you dont want to get into the 500+ budget.............

alyn

Spray some white lithium grease on the shocks. This free's them up for 6 months or so, before they start to knock again. Should give you time to save up for some shiney coilovers

Thanks for the feed back guys.I aint had anyone tell me any different to you Rocko, so coilovers it is.Thanks for the links mate,and by the way loving watching the progress of the beast!! When shes finished its gotta be you and ROSY B on the quarter mile! I'd pay to watch.

Thanks Weng will do

1. Buy an Evo 9

2. Take a crash course of written English

got a set of the BC ER series, and really impressed with them so far, had them all changed over in a day and took a few days to settle down before finally setting them up and getting the geom re-done.

Now the snow is here, I have jacked it up slightly and softened them up a tad also.

Just over 1k, but definately worth it so far.

Only downside is that with the adjustable top mounts there is a definate increase in NVH due to the spherical bearings and the plate shape.

see the garage thread for a bit more detail on this.

Oi Swede get back in ya sauna and lock the door!!! . Thanks for feed back lads prob gonna go with mid range coilovers. Will look into those Breen, thanks.
