Im looking at changing my suspension next week but not sure which 1 to go for. Im ponding over the following:

Is it worth getting the coil overs?
Is it worth getting the camber kit?
Where is the best place to get the kit from?

Im changing also at the same time.
1) Wishbones ( complete with bushes and ball joint )
2) Drop links

Cheers for the advice in advance

personally i'd go for Koni, after seeing Avo stuff, the konis i have are far better quality

coilovers, no, transmission system will die a death

and i dont know about the camber kit, but it probably would be a good idea

Koni's !!!


They work well on calibra's (hence why most of them are running koni's)

Rob is correct the coilovers would kill the 4x4, and make day to day driving uncomfortable.

Camber kit is one of those things, some people say its worth it, others say it isnt. Up to you. Not going ot do any harm tho is it?

Go and buy them now

i voted bilstein as i have used them for years and found them to be better than any kit ive ever had. when comparing to the konis theres not much in it exept the billies are a lot better for ride quality. and seem to cope with smaller bumps in the road better.

sprintline is the one you want. springs are designed by eibach. look at the quality of the piston rods as well, they are designed in the same way as motorbike dampers, thicker piston rod etc...
