dubloke 4 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 what sort of budget you after? try fk, they do spring/shox kits as well as coilovers for reasonable money! sounds like just normal wear and tear on the car tho tbh, they are heavy on suspension components vr's if you dont replace or upgrade the standard set-up!

spindat45 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 G-Max also do a reasonably priced spring/shock kit for about £200. I'm more than happy with it on mine. Do a search for suspension on here. There's loads of good threads on the subject. You'll find all the advice you need there.Kevin Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Steve 0 Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Weitec GT kit from C&R Enterprises (non damping adjustable). Its lowered 30mm and quite comfortable. Think its around the £250 mark. Link to post Share on other sites

petervr6 0 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 wire brush the copper brake pipe then uder seal it that will pass then. Link to post Share on other sites
jb9999 0 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Use grease on brake pipes after youv'e cleaned them up. Underseal will just make the inspector think you have something to hide.Also VR6Steve, those non-damping adjustables sound very exclusive, and very uncomfortable. Do you mean non-adjustable dampers? *-) Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 One thing to add about the GMAX kit is that all the dampers are gas dampers and not oil filled...so they are more reliable. If you live in the south give the Phirm a call as they will supply and fit them at a very good rate. They did mine...very happy with mine and certainly looks lower than the 35mm drop advertised...i would say it has dropped my car about 45mm.. I also fitted a deep front spoiler on mine and now it looks nice and aggressive but subtly so... not overly low but certainly looks good. No trouble over speed bumps. Perfect going round corners compared to stock suspension. Good luck mate. Link to post Share on other sites
Dr.Chinnery 0 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 The Phirm fitted a GMAX kit to my vr6 3 weeks ago - total cost £450 incl. VAT. Car drives like a different beast now. Rear wheels (17" bbs) rub very slightly now tho under heavy load - will get arches rolled some time. Link to post Share on other sites
