sorry for bumping an old thread but this seems quite common and happened to mine. on mine the connection broke underneath the airbox. had to remove the airbox to get at it properly as it was really tight and had a wee jub clip on it. I'm fairly unimpressed by the actual operation of the rear wash, i ...

really nice motor mate, the porsche wheels in that colour really do set the car off! I do see what you mean about the height at the back, its not too bad but it could defo be lower

where you getting your replacement rears from?

the cover seems to unclip from the main unit but on mine it broke one of the clips that hold it in place so its not as secure now, ideally needing replacing. my mirrors are stuck solid aswell. tried wd, big plumbers pliers and brute force to no avail. im just gony replace them after new year ...

what size wheels is it you have? im gony run 17s. TT comps are looking favourite just now. a tad overdone but still look superb i think.

do you have a pic of how yours sits just now by any chance?

well im leaning more and more towards the APs myself now due to the lower price and having heard a few folk saying that they are pretty decent for the money. also means i'll have some spare cash left over to sort the wheels out, plus replace my mirrors cause the are stuck solid and wont fold in ...

yeah i heard the mondeo drops fit but you can get the rightones for 40 quid off ebay so....! or chop and weld the originals lol.

had a look at they AP coilovers there aswell, they all seem to have much the same spec, same drop heights pretty much and circa 25 - 30% uprated damper rates. you usually ...

oh, also, how do these wee motors do when you lower them with regards to inner front tyre wear? is there a camber kit available or is it an eccentric top mount job?

rodgerq

the Weitec ones seems decent for the price, i dont really want to go any more than 600. noticed the FKs come with shorter drop links aswell, i take it these are needed?

rodgerq

whats the general consensus on half decent coilovers used on the 9n? im new to these and dont want to dive in without some info from folk who have meybe tried a few different sets or had experience on whats half decent. looking to spend ITRO 500 - 600

cheers
