i know scott refurbed my p1 suspension...dont know whether he is selling?

Sold them already. Turned down good money for them too, and only got £191 on ebay :(......you win some you lose some........

Wayne`s World.
 

Those shocks with some new springs;) living the dream ;)

Just spoke to the guy and I think we are talking about £100 for the essentially scrap Bilsteins. I need to find out a little more about the extent to which Bilstein can rebuild them to make sure they are 'refurbishable'.

Update,
Small leak on rad discovered :sad: so having this replaced.

Today received costs for changing shocks, springs + alignment so now need to decide what to do next?

I can either bring the car home as is and wait and save up or just have the fronts done but leave the springs or change the fronts with new springs, have all 4 done and leave the springs,have all 4 done with new springs,fit std kyb`s or go ultra`s with Eibach springs or coilovers are still an option.
I have had guidence from our resident respected spring guru and equally value the other comments + just read RCM`s write-up on the BC`s they sell. I need to lie down :tequila:)

Think I`m going to sleep on it.

Dave were your kyb`s std?

If I remember rightly the springs are H&R which are good springs and the car sits at just the right height in my opinion.. Maybe just change the shocks if the springs are still in good condition? Drive it a while and see how it feels and if you feel the need later to change the springs do it then.

At the end of the day mate the speed you and me drive around the ring we could probably get away with no springs at all :lol:

Picking up on Thursday :yeah:

I bet you cant wait only a few more days to go and you will be driving a sorted wagon Steve .

Yep,daily drive has been Liz`s Disco. It just does not have the same feel in the corners as the wagon :norty:,even at my speeds before anyone remarks. ;-) :razz:

Fantastic. It'll feel like a different car I reckon. The suspension should make a massive difference.

Looking good...and without looking under the dust gaiter they look OE.

`Fantastic. It'll feel like a different car I reckon. The suspension should make a massive difference.`

Cheer Steve, your drop links fitted aswell :ok:


`Looking good...and without looking under the dust gaiter they look OE`

Thanks Scott, I should have some HR springs available after Thursday. :wink:

Springs !!!!! :tissue:

Haha, knew you couldn't resist Scott ;)

Looking forward to seeing what you think Steve, and I think you went with the best option :doubleup:

:whistle:

As others have said it'll feel like a new car

Kyb's and eibach springs let me now how it feels on the road Steve .

Ha Ha I knew you couldn`t resist :lol: How`s the beast Ian?

Hope so Tim, fingers crossed.

Will do matey :ok:

Collected the car today, all good.

KYB`s are adjustable currently set on 2 (mid setting) can go to 4. Ride felt great and very planted in the corners.Will have to play with the settings whilst Liz is still out of action :razz:

Only downside is the eibach springs sit the car higher than the HR`s where the ride height looked spot on imo.Although the up-side could be the wagon will go on the drive now,plan to try in the daylight with H on the floor checking!
The wagon needs a good clean but if the weather holds tomorrow I get some pictures up.:ok:

Nice one.
I had kyb agx for a while. They were quite firm even on middle setting.
The car will be about 15-18mm higher on the Eibach.

Yep its a shame about the height but I have brought the HR`s back with me though :wink:

Glad you got it back and you enjoyed the drive home :)

Pictures of the front and rear adjusters on the kyb`s :ok:

With the eibachs not lowering the car as much as the HR`s the wagon just makes it onto the drive now.

Gave Wayne a wash, finished just in time for it to start raining :boom:

http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/...018_172446.jpg

Looking good Steve.. :doubleup:

Very smart.

You must be pleased to have Wayne back now :) Nice & shiny too :doubleup:

Fantastic. It's such a nice looking car. So, you now have a lovely blob and a very rare sorted JDM STI wagon. I'd garage it and get yourself a run around if I were you lol.

I do love this wagon looking good now Steve where did you get the kyb's from ?

Thanks scotty, kyb`s sourced by Carnetix but not revealed who from :ninja: Happy to ask for you if you want mate?

I need a double garage,as for another car :shock: I know what Liz would say which I cannot possibly post on here this being a nice friendly site:wink:

It does come up nice when washed just a shame funds had to be used eslewhere as I would love to have had a couple of bits painted.Just have to work harder?

Cheers Stig!

Well thank you kind sir!

Please Steve send me a pm when you find out thanks Scotty .
