My cars spec is: Front Suspension: Adjustable Spax inserts Betaboyz lowering/Uprated Springs Polyurethane bushes Polyurethane Top mount Rear Suspension: Adjustable Spax inserts Betaboyz lowering/Uprated Springs Polyurethane bushes Polyurethane Top mount Strut brace Alternatively, a couple of people have started fitting modified coilovers. Geoff might be able to point you in the right direction when he's sober ;) Title: Re: spyder suspension Post by: hongkongphooey on July 13, 2010, 12:54:26 PM Alternatively, a couple of people have started fitting modified coilovers. Geoff might be able to point you in the right direction when he's sober ;) I've now gone this route,mainly because i like coilovers and a stiff ride. I've done it on a budget though. I bought some new tuv approved,but cheap coilovers for a mk1 golf off ebay,cut the golf mountings off and replaced them with the lancia mountings. I'll put up some pics when i get round to doing the rears. Title: Re: spyder suspension Post by: thecolonel on July 13, 2010, 02:53:11 PM This was my attempt
