Ive just looked up the bilstien kit thats on my car and its £540

I thought it was just a cheapish jobbie. Really impressed with it though just a shame it doesnt look quite low enough

Drives supercharged Tec with torque

thats the only problem im finding with blistien, is that to go low, you need to buy the £1500 coilover set up!

Yeah, sold mine along time ago. The reason I went for Rear Coilovers was mainly due to 1/4 mile. Having the rear jacked up provides better traction. Plus having it at just the right height is alot better than a spring telling you where it wants to sit.

TBH i have done it both ways in the past. I have strengthened the lower and upper mounting points and i have no bothered on others. TBH the only part i would look to uprate would be the mounting point on the beam.
