after some info off those of you with coiles.

How big a job is it to adjust them on the car and also do they seze up after a while as i have read a few stories about them now.

for the price of them do you think its worth the hassel or do u think just getting a set of springs to do the trick?

If you look after them well they shouldn't seize.

Depends on what make but most coilovers only need flat ground, a spanner and some time to adjust them

go for 80mm - 100mm on 15's, will look sexy as f**k. if you want to kee it relatively practical, i wouldnt go past 80mm.even there wil be a pretty harsh ride.

just been outside and measured 80 to see how tho it would make the car, and as far as i can see that would put the tyres up underneath the artches!

surely turning becomes an issue! 50mm looked like the maximum really!

I would recommend you going for coilies produced from stainless steel - as non stainless steel ones will seize up quickly. Recommendations from speaking with others
