Does anyone have any recommendations.? Not looking to go low just firm up all 4 corners at once and coilovers would be the simplest way to do that.
Has anyone got the eBay special ones?

Was there anymore info on these I do remember there was also me issues with these but can't remember what and if it got sorted.
I'd like a new set next year because my fk's will probably be past it after this winter so instead of getting them returned may just go for these.

If you get the latest standard the issue is sorted, however they may try to sell you old stock as they did with me, then there is an issue of the rear spring dislocating on full travel. I eventually got the them replaced with the modification, but it took a lot of discussion. The final product is OK but the not impressed with BC as a company.

D2 coilovers are good in my experience. They are about £600, Ive been using them on track for over a year and they are in good nick still after looking at them the other day.

The front FK's can be rebuilt. They are only running a shock insert, so you could get a new shock insert and you'll be good to go.

Thanks, i am about to start a major overhaul, respray, suspension, wheels, brakes, tyres...only the interior staying un touched. The car does around 1000 miles per year, it wont be tracked or raced just enjoyed at weekends so would you still go for the more expspensive options? Despite the huge list above i do have a budget to get it all done. Glen

OSRAV are better than the Billy's , the Billy's can still be bouncy, that can be dialled out with the OSRAVs. Agreed - not cheap though....
