I had a feeling this was'nt going to be an easy decision

...trackday use will be limited so that is not the determining factor but a cost effective replacement for the STI shocks is as i don't want to be replacing them every year...would'nt expect the STI shock to have such a short lifespan

but anyway....will have to investigate further but appreciate all the comments...cheers

I cant remember I was too terrified and trying to breathe from the acceleration to be honest

:lol:

Andy - it isnt an easy decision - dont rush it.

i've been happy with my Teins.... if set to softest setting then they seem fine.... and have been pretty good on track too...
not sur eif there the best, but i've been happy, but did fit the EDFC very quickly though. i do find that a fantistic bit of kit..

i have a set of cusco ones on my RA and totally hate them TBH, when cornering at any kind of speed on back roads the back end seems to skip and jump quite a bit, not a nice feeling at all TBH

Coilovers are next of my wish list as well but just weighing up my options just now and not rushing to buy anything either, will probably be AST`s or EXE TC`s though by the looks of it

I knew that's what you meant - 800 miles in a near BTCC effect car with twice the acceleration .. lol
