    Right lads so been out in the car for the 3rd time! and she's a bit rolly. so i think coilvers are on the cards now. also a hicas lockout system

    also was having a look in DW's shop and seen a full HICAS lock out system for 200 quid? or theres a lock out bar for 85quid>??? what to go for etc??

    What are you saying rubes run a macpherson front strut....! Big enough job do this but a good 1....! Also you could run a s13 or 14 rear subframe and do away with the hicas altogether...!

    No where near as big a job as its made out to be...... It all bolts in apart from the top shock mount.

    yes robbie, from what i hear its not actually a huge job once u figure out geomotry wise wher to mount the top of d coilover.

    ^^^^^ famoush jh and his mate done it to his mates 32, u may have seen it @ citywest with its engine under d dash, crazy lock, s14 coilovers, and custom made setup doin away wit tension rods, work of art. if i was drifting my 32 id look into that. but im not so im just givin my opinion. . .

    maybe john will elaborate?????

    Thanks Ruby

    Yea theres 2 ways of doin it really...The way Nicky done it I cant take much glory for this cos i thought the bottom arms werent gonna work lol... But boy was i proven wrong as usual

    Easiest was is as i've said above use ALL s14 gear.. Only big job is the top mounts

    What have the engine mounts got to do with it?! Still use the 32 front subframe like..........

    As for the top mounts measure measure measure!
