Haha nah, good work man and keep it up! Slow and steady really gets things done. And a cup kit would be ace because cheapie coil overs are harsh on the arse.
Alright, needing some help here guys...
I'm really really confused about certain types of springs and the different options and things they're saying you need.
These springs in my eyes look perfect... Lowers to the perfect amount, a pretty good price, and dont say i need anything else. Although in the title it says 11.91>
Does that mean any year model above 91?
Would these springs need any other things or could i chuck these straight on my current struts?
These state 80mm Pigtail Front Springs are needed. Again, do the first and second link not need this? And why does it say only later models?
Sorry if this is all stupid questions or i look like a total n00b but im seriously confused.
My current springs and struts were replaced about 10,000kms ago so i dont really wanna be throwing money away to buy new ones... Plus as a student my budget is low. I know im gonna get people saying "dont do it if you cant afford it"butto be honest if my rides a bit harder it doesnt really bother me.
Also, my car was purchased as a 94' model but next to the VIN it says it was built in 95'. Which should i go by?
Any help will be appreciated, thank you!!
(by the way if it helps, im mostly interested in the first link, i just need to know if i need any other things and if it will even fit on my VR)
Always go by the date stamped on the plate in the engine bay, should be a small aluminium rectangular plate.
My car VIN registers with the authorities as '96 but it's stamped as mid '95, I guess they just rounded the date up.

LOL
I think your the first P plater to ever worry about what's illegal on a car!!! Dannngggggggggg!
Just buy the dam coilovers, cops don't worry about us, as they target mainly jap, commo, falco drivers. (Yes I've heard about the bastard mountain goat coppers)
Just don't make it low, think of a sensible height and you'll have nothing to worry about.
Your exhaust on the other hand ...
Put the resonator back in, it'll help.
If you need a blue slip(unregistered vehicles) coilovers are a no go, but for a pink slip they are fine. Find a qdifferent mechanic if he's being a hard arse. If you just want modest drop run coilovers and keep every part of the car above 100mm, cops won't care if you above legal height and its near impossible to see the struts without lifting the car up anyway.
Thats true - but being on a low budget i would only be able to afford something under 500$. Ive been tempted to get JOMs as ive heard theyre actually some of the best low budget ones, but i cant find myself to sacrifice how comfy it is now and regret getting them.
Hm, so if it says 91>95 and then 95>98 which one should i be picking? Or will either work?
The site I found also specified the month as well as the year. Use the VIN as they can sometimes specify a VIN range that will fit.
