Coilovers can be acquired from GAZ, you send them your standard struts, and they convert them to coilovers and shorten them to allow you to lower the car.

The question is why would you want coilovers?


I've seen a lot fitted but not a single one that has had teh corner weights set removing the only usefull function of the coil over.

They're custom ones made by GAZ Shocks mate, just give them a ring and send them your old struts

mines a lot better on coilies regardless of set up on a corner weighting machine. I have far more front end grip now, and very little understeer. I was running chopped springs previously though, so you cant get much worse :lol:

Your problem would have been quickly and easily solved by fitting correct springs for aplication.

It does seem to be the DW way. Chop the springs then find out its shit so teh answer has to be coilovers. I would offer coilovers but as no one actualy wants to set them up to work there is no point in running comprised springs.
