Right then guys track time is fast approaching and I've got loads to do on the car.
So far I've got a full set of 5 stud hubs, ATR calipers and carriers and a set of discs and pads for the front.
While I'll have all this out I thought I might as well get the polybushing done and also sort out a nice new set of coilovers. I also need some rear discs and pads.
What does everyone recommen? I don't want to spend silly money but maybe around the £600 on the coilovers and this is just for my bb4 track car. Cheers for the help in advance.

What about the D2's? Rob mentioned them when I was over his last night

Did both those sets I gave you links for a while back sell?

D2's I think are the same as BC racing aren't they?

I've read they're very similar/made in the same place, but the BC ones have better build quality. :? Only a second hand account though.

If they are for the track car I think I'd get miesters as you can request better spring rates I think rich recommended 10kg front and 9kg rear but may need to check that.

D2's and similar come something like 10kg/5kg so another pair of springs will cost another £100 or so, plus rebuilding them seems impossible(replacment units only available). I've only got them as they were new and half price :)

I contacted BC racing (apexi racing) and they will customize the BC coilovers.
I use the 10kg front and 7kg rears rates. The custom rear springs rates were £70 plus delivery i think. They were off an MR2 IIRC. Might get a stiffer rear spring though. We will see.

Something like this I'd say..

BC BR Coilovers

Might be able to find them a bit cheaper. Although you can make a 'best offer' on these. ;)

They're ultimately what I'll be getting on my Gen3.
