Cars in major need of some lows now but don't know weather to go springs or coilovers.

Gonna be having the car remapped soon at a local company called ADE Tuning, custom map with before and after rolling roads

If anybody in the northwest is thinking of having a remap we've got a group buy going at a great price

Post by: jaffa on October 16, 2014, 03:05:53 pm: Looks good mate
Personally I'd say go for coilovers I don't think springs go low enough for the wheels
I run pretty low with those wheels a bit of camber in the rear and rolled wings up front and your golden
