Oh and just my opinion, I think coilovers are overkill for a daily..

From experience, make them soft and comfy and car bounces about. Set them up so the car responds how you want and you break your back everytime you drive over a wet leaf.

I'm talking dear coilovers. Tein, gaz, d2 all the same.

Surely cheap coilovers are awful???

I reckon some sensible lowering springs would suffice and not break the bank.

 

Cool, so from your experience good quality springs are good for daily use? I cannot justify spending 200 - 300 quid on coilovers which I don't need. I only want my car lowered purely for looks. I am happy how she handles, I don't thrash it around corners and it's only a little 1.5... And saying cheap coilovers are awful, you get what you pay for I guess. How low did the G-Max springs drop your MB6? Knights M doesn't look too low which is what I like   :smile:

I wasn't saying getting those crappy coilover sleeves as they are CRAP! yeah the ones I have are the ones with blue springs had them nearly 2 years on my daily and no problems what so ever, but might be too harsh for you, different people have different opinions. go for what you will feel happy with :)

I stay well away from sleeves haha. I would like to go for good lowering springs but for not much more, I can get myself ebay coilovers?  ^_^

Well the sub is gone. I'm going to miss that window shattering bass but I need the boot space. On the plus side I bought a set of Edge 6x9's and Edge 6.5" component door speakers with separate tweeters! I am not keen on Edge audio but then I haven't installed or tried them yet. I will be hooking them all up to my JBL amp which was originally used for the subwoofer. Got a couple shots of the M wearing her new shoes  :grin:

I know mate :roll: The subwoofer had a hard life so I thought I sell it whilst it's working. I want boot space but I really need that bass back, I cannot live without it because I love my drum & bass, dubstep, Electonica techno & the rest of it! So I will probably get another one, a bigger and better one haha :wink:  

I was walking through this alley and saw whats on the above picture and thought... I gotta get a picture of that! So out come the camera  :wink:
