when only fitting springs to any car your putting more stress on the oem shocks thus your probs going to have to get new ones in about a year and a halfish think that happened to jay mind u were tellen me somethin about your motor on springs and they went lol coilovers ftw

[BaRnEsEy]

i saved for coilovers, the £100 or so you spend on the springs could go towards coilovers. thats how i see it.

you can do it on normal shocks but only a matter of time before they give way and break.

I have fitted uprated springs to all of my cars and have never has a problem with the shocks failing. The sportlines feel just as firm as the standard ones on my sport, so i don't think it should make too much of a difference. Only time will tell though. Fingers crossed! lol
Coilovers would me my prefered choice, but the springs were cheap and i am more than happy with the ride height and handling.

tru mate but if u waited a lil longer could of went for spax or k-sport dosent always have to be big brands like tein and d2 ect think a seen a set of spax ones for 300 or somethin like that

[Remould]

That sounds pretty reasonable...
May have to look into that if and when my dampers give up the ghost.

I've spent a bit more money today...
I've ordered my E-Tech Lightweight aluminium strutbrace (Same as LeeCS). Hopefully i will have it delivered friday, and with my JDM wind deflectors in the post and my car booked in to have a custom Powerflow exhaust fitted saturday morning, she should be looking, feeling and sounding better by the time this weekend is up.
Can't wait! lol

[LeeCS]

wooo someones had a spend up
you got pukka jdm wind deflectors then?

[BaRnEsEy]

should look sweet once that lots fitted.
next month i should have a fair few more bits on mine too.

[Remould]

No, i'm afraid they are not pukka JDM deflectors, they look realy good though. The guy i'm getting them from has a set on his EP3. I just hope he doesn't rip me off... I saw them on E-bay and he supposedly sent them on friday, but nothing has arrived as of yet.

[BaRnEsEy]

where did you get them from?

i need some new ones as one of my heko ones broke and i never have windows open no more cos of the gale force wind you get without the deflectors.

[Remould]

I know you can get Heco ones on e-bay for about £20 + p&p.
I think i have been done over... I just tried to email the guy about my set, and he doesn't have an e-bay account any more.
They'll better turn up or i'll be royally pissed off... Grrr!...

If you paid via PayPal you'll be alrite

[BaRnEsEy]

yea paypal will save you, check if the account has been debited. if so complain to paypal saying you havent received the goods.

whats the company? i only really need a passenger side one but when money allows if no one offers one up ill be buying a full set and flogging the driver side one lol.

[Remould]

I was a private trader that i used, and no, for the first time in my life i didn't use paypal as the guy wasn't set up with it.
I am still holding out some hope though as i got an email from him last night saying that he posted it yesterday afternoon. So fingers crossed, they may turn up still....

[Remould]

They arrived!!!
Take back all that was said before... lol
Turned up at work this morning and they were sat waiting for me. I'll fit them at lunchtime if it stops raining.
I'm well chuffed! lol
