cheaper ones

wouldnt bother with the cheapest ones as they will be shit. should be orite with jamex but if you have got a bit extra to spend get 'fk automotive highsport' coilovers had them on my old 1600 sport and they were amazin! handled great without being too stiff. cost about 300

But I use 2 have just 60mm springs and that was bad but I could live with it to be honest, just don't see the reason to spend £300+ on coilovers when it won't even be for track use
