i came back because i bought some shiny things for the car

had a loose axle, slightly odd, and explains the funny to say the least handling pmsl

it was the rear axle bushes, so got some powerflex jobbys, then saw coilovers and thought i'd get them too as it was free postage.



so hopefully it will handle ok now, at long last Laughing

You've lowered yours 40mm haven't you Jim??

What you going to do with your old springs/shocks?

Or more like, how much would you sell/post the to me for?

yeah, very wobbly, i knew something felt funny on the twistys Laughing looking forward to being able to drive at decent speeds round bends.

just struggling at the moment getting everything undone and taking the axle off. Getting the dremel out in a minute to cut through the brake lines.

yep thats right, i lowered it already, -40mm.

originally bought the weitec ultra gt kit


but shortly after fitting i changed the springs to Pi ones, still -40mm though


Some guy on corrado forum has already asked about the springs. Did you want the whole lot then?
