depends on what your priorities are. As I've pm-ed, decent coilovers (FK, KW, H&R etc) start at about £380 online (group buys and private people omitted) and go up from there. Fitting will be at least another £100
a kit will cost about £150-£300, spraying £200-£300, fitting about £100-£150 so it's definitely the more expensive option.
If I was going to do both eventually, I'd do the lowering and save up for the kit.

Camber is not adjustable - only two settings, toe and steer. And thats only in the front.
The rears can't be adjusted so they need to track the front in relation to how the rear is to make it go straight.

just got the tracking reset to parallel for now, wasnt that far out (about 2mm apparently) so not a huge difference. feels like it's heavier and more responsive which is good - I guess more tyre on the road in the right direction!
so all in all, top job.

We had a race going to aberdeen from glasgow last wkend and speedsixs' car with eibachs could take really sharp turns that I couldnt take..The eibachs offer a huge advantage over the normal suspension..well worth it (If u can afford it!!)speedsix wrote:The eibach coilies im on have fantastic ride comfort and handling.
