so much winis that windsor blue aswell?
I was under the impression youd had a black one for some reason. Get some forever black or something on those trims and this thing will be perfect

I'm giong to be buying these soon aswell ! fit all MK3 models ?
and also how does it feel ?
I have them. They should definately fit all mk3s.
Ride is a lot rougher then stock boat like cloud suspension. I found mine broke in a bit after a little while and became a little more tollerable. If you dont wind them right down theyre not to bouncyTake the bumpstops and helpers out and wind em right down, then your in for a treat. hahahah. I found putting the back ones up a bit actually made the ride a LOT nice,. I daily it with them lower then they are designed to go in the front (no helper springs and 2cm of thread left) and a heap of tread with helpers still in in the back, and that gives me no real rake really.

I expected the ride comfort to be much worse after reading a few threads on the net. At my height it's still pretty comfy, a bit bouncy - I'd say the same as my mate's stock dc2r. Handling is much better, no more body roll!
thanks for the compliments!

I thought the HT's were much stiffer than my JOM's at severe lows. But eh, it's "cheap suspension" cant be too critical/highly expecting![]()
Yeah dude when we put them in my mates vr6, the handling of the car just brightens up and comes to life. No more body roll, and it doesnt feel like a boat. Vr6's come out stock very high for some reason..
Looks great mate, just paint the wheels i reckon
Oh and Sortofbigbj, i took the helper/damper spring out too for my back hehe.. heaps rougher rideDaily too !

its funny you say that bj, mine went the other way round.... when i first installed mine they felt great and then quickly went 2 sh#t . My whole interior now has rattles and my engine mounts are shot due to the rough & bouncy ride . I can't wait 2 rip mine out and swap them for something decent . Yeah sure if your want a cheap low and don't care about ride quality do it , but if i had my time over again i would man up and a get a decent setup .
anyways love the 3dr mate

interesting.. did you replace the mounts with the coilovers? if not theyre probably ****ed from the greatly increased harshness in ride and might be making it a little unpleaseant. Still, Id love some higher end coilovers to be honest.
