Popey i live in the North West too, did you get the springs from Woodmans? Is the £180 fitted?
I am very interested in getting my mcs lowered, especially a 30mm drop as was thinking of H+R's were one of the few that achieved that....
Can you elaborate what you springs you went for, they do look spot on.

Good work with the 268bhp, very jealous.

The springs are Eibach, one of the best and most well known brands.

Coastal Racing supply and fit them for £180 (all inc), they are based in Morecambe call Carl on 01524 844877.

Nice car Popey. Any chance of some vids of you driving it so we can all see how it handles the 268bhp???

popey · #59 (**permalink**) Mar 25th, 2009, 05:10 PM

I dont get round to making a lot of videos but will try if I get time.

Just ordered one of these

Hi Popey.

As I've said on NM - cracking car.

Do you have a dyno reading for the re-map, sounds like some serious power there.

Also, do you not have an upgraded inter-cooler?
