Thought I'd better 'hide' the con note number....... they didn't ask many questions when I rang up to get the delivery redirected to my work address . Not that I don't trust you Phil :cool: .
ooh ooh coilovers me guessing.....
I certainly hope so!! :bowrofl:
Pics to follow as soon as I get a chance.

Nothing but the best my friend (translation: Sports ones). They came very highly recommended by Mr. Seafood (and others).
I decided after I got the manual tuned with the emanage that I'd sort out the handling before I put money into "something new"

Hard to really test it out considering the weather at the moment, but even in the wet the car feels unbelievably solid and well balanced. Comming from king springs, ride is alot more firm but not uncomfortable.

Car will def be slammed at the next "show and shine" event QMD represents at, and fear not - photos will be involved. By then it'll be colour coded, with darker tints.
As it is, can't get in my garage without scaping the exhaust at the moment.

Can anyone else hear that whinging noise? Or that chant? "lower... lower... lower..." :badgrin:

man those pics brings a tear to my eye. It's just so beautiful. :cool:
Good to see you happy. Coilovers + strut brace + camber kit + castor kit + rear sway bar..... even if your car is a magna, it sure make you feel like you are sitting in a race car.
I must say, Coilover are DANGEROUS!!! Yes, because your car will handle so well you want to take every corner at twice the advisory speed!!! :bowrofl:
Cheers.

Thanks Anthony, but it'd look alot better with a nice phillcom rally sticker :cool: .
I cranked my adjustable rear sway up to the stiffest setting this morning, and I'm having a pretty difficult time getting any understeer whatsoever now!!!
I know what you mean about taking corners at high speed - I'm starting to think this mod is gonna cost me a fortune in tyres :bowrofl: (not that I'm complaining).

I only know one person who has upgraded it (Megatron), and according to the RPW website - it only makes a very subtle difference to the handling of the car. Thats not to say it isn't a good or worthwhile mod though.
I also understand it takes quite a few hours of labour to fit. I'm just running stock - and probably wont upgrade it in the near future.
