    if your doing trackday regular would agree but otherwise decent dampers and springs are all you need


    coilovers at present seem to be like splitfire plugs in the 90s the in thing to have but no real benefit especialy not the cheap crap kits

    Pic below is the Big piston Bilsteins i had on my cav before i stripped it! Same principal as the nova with the thick tube pistons (basically the damper inside the body is upside down)! Much better that the thinner piston version and as said the black dmapers are really for OEM replacment! Ironically i dont have any pics of the ones i have on the nova or the ones ive just fitted to the tigra, !!!
    1.6 16v's are the way forward!

    Difficult takes a day - impossible takes a week!

    These are the ones you want, you cant see it but they are the large piston type as above.
