I have a set of PI fronts you can have.  Sposed to be -35mm.  

I payed £80 odd for another identical set which didn\'t lower it any further than the ones I took off!  You are welcome to the spare set for free if you want em.

Seems good value.

I\'ve got an FC steering rack & brake conversion & I dunno how this would affect an FC coilover kit.

I do know that i\'m using FB springs, so I asume the shocks ar FB too?

Didn\'t fit it myself so I don\'t really know what to buy.

Bit of a mechanical dunce you see :2Confused

if you are using FB springs then you have FB struts so the FB kit should be fine (double check with Tim first but 99% sure) its a great kit well worth the money

Will speak to Tim - need to find out a bit more about posssibility of larger turbo anyways.

Oh which kit did you go for? the Road one?  Also did it come complete with shocks/springs?

yes went for the street one, you will need to upgrade your shocks and order the springs from Re-Speed just decide on which rate spring you want
