Ciaran 4 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Well had my VR6 for about 2 years it has slowly declined in handling and braking quality and i had a hole in the exhaust so first i purchased thisthe konis i had on the car have always been to stiff so i purchased a set of theseThe Koni's i took of are for sale in the sale section they need a good cleanHere is a pic of the rear coilovers fittedThe disks were also a bit warped so these bad boys were fitted along with a set of green stuff padsalso purchased a set of braided hoses although the front ones do not seem long enoughSeeing as i had gone that far i fitted a set of powerflex bushes while i was at it along with new drop linksThe car is on the ramp waiting for new disks to be fitted at the back a Link to post Share on other sites

Ciaran 4 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 they are FK highsports yes mate the ride is far softer than my previous koni shocks and g-max springs combo.

purple highline monster 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 not keen on them either...........Borbet A`s or speedlines would suit yours better, those look a bit too Jap to me, wheels are very personal choice though, but they make or break the car onece fitted Link to post Share on other sites
