    I'm thinking of eibach's with koni yellows... Was looking at the last editions, but wont bother with my 2.slow. Matty, I reckon you should go with the last editions and go some other work as well, just my 2c.

      V3's are for fine tuned competition use, if it isnt a dedicated track car dont bother with'em imo. The V2's would are perfect for ease of adjustability when flicking between street n track . . . i'd put the extra cash elswhere, but if wanna spend up your mula, then spend ma friend! and give us all a review on the V3's

          I'm pretty happy with the Eibach/Bilstein combo, needs swaybars tho, hmm maybe one day.

            The other night I thought about the eibach/koni or eibach/bilstein combos, purely out of bang for buck and that I didnt want to spent thousands of dollars and then hate the setup a week later.

            Now... I've more or less settled on the V2's though.

            cOS's sentiment is an interesting one though. KW is without a doubt flavour of the month. Bilstein, H&R, Koni etc are all fairly established but nobody seems to rave about them as much as KW. Bilstein PSS9's were my third choice though, after V2 and V3.

            One mob that I didnt think about was DMS. A mate of mine has just bought $7k worth of DMS coilovers. They might not be in the car yet (ground up tarmac rally car build) but he loves em. They do make slighly cheaper 2-way adjustable coilovers, but even they seem too hardcore for what I'll be doing.

            btw, Nolathane have replied with a rather terse email. No they dont to poly strut mounts and never will - so bugger off. Thanks nolathane, you can now go back to making crap for commonbores.

              That's a rather bad attitude

                  It wasnt a rude email, but I more or less expected that they wouldnt be making stuff for a car that isnt a big part of australia's aftermarket.

                  Anyway, back to strut top mounts. I want to replace both front & rear, but most sites only seem to stock fronts?? (see here).

                  Should I just get some fronts and then maybe some prothane rear shock tower bushes??

                            Well today I put a deposit down on the last pair of KW V2 last ed's at inmotive

                            John @ Wheels World has talked me out of doing any bushses, mounts, whatever until the KW's are in and so I can gauge my reaction of them.

                            I IS AN EXCITED MATTY T, OH YES KOIL OVAHS!!

                              Congratulations Matty you will be pleasantly surprised, spoke to Dragan about you getting them today he received the payment

                              I also spoke to Seb and he said that you can't get anymore polyurathane bushes, but there is a mob in the US he thinks that still make them! Will try and get a name for you if I can
