Hey folks,
Just thought I'd share my new (hard-earned) knowledge. I finally got my car in for the Total Suspension Fix (ha-ha). I went with KYB gas shocks, Lovell Sport springs, and KMac strut caps in the front. Result:
Lovell springs are brilliant. Definitely better than Kings - though probably not as good as Eibachs (never ridden with them).
Rear is about 30mm lower and looks nice. Tends to squat a bit on take-off - really need the adjustable caps in the back (KMac don't make rears for our cars).
The springs brought the front down by 20mm. BUT, the strut caps then raised it back UP 25mm. So, I'm going to have to go with a different sprng in the front. With the nose in the air, the car looks ready to go airborne! Pitty, cause the only springs I can find to bring it back down are the show style low-riders that may not handle well.
So, I guess the moral of the story ts, where possible, add each componant seperately and drive it in before getting the next bit.
Next addition will probably be a Whiteline sway bar.
