Excuse for coilovers? Or uprated shocks and springs all around?

I was thinking coilovers too

Going to sound silly now... What are they? And what difference would they make!? Hmm! Apparantely he failed a Geometry test on 3 points

That should answer all questions about coilovers.

To put it simply they are fully adjustable from the drop to the stiffness in the shocks and are seen as one of the best handling upgrade you can do to any car.

Thanks for that!

But coilovers wouldn't straighten out the beam axle if it has been bent.

The axle is being replaced I believe, the guy on the phone mentioned 'new axle & bushes', and then mentioned about the 'Geometry test' failure on 3 points.

 

[minijay]

He still isn't back yet! Hopefully tomorrow... What a joke of a garage!

 

[maggi200]

Any news?

I got him back on the 8th... No problems at all, apart from one thing Ive just noticed. The alloy that was refurbished seems to have a different 'cut' to it, with the rim being blue, whereas the other alloys have silver rims... Its alright anyway as I've just fitted my Rimblades! Im very impressed with them!

So yep, cars all sorted and safely home!!
