    Default Coilovers....

    Been looking at different sets of coilovers, just cant decide does anyone have advice on a set or anyone have a second hand set for sale? dont want to spend over £200 for full set really.

    There no different to fitting normal shocks and springs , they just have adjusters on them to set the height

    And no you won't need spacers
