My mate had some highsports on his C and was very low but still had loads of travel left. Not sure if he fitted them correctly or not but they used to bang or bottom out constantly.

The cheap FKs are known to be **** and seize up but i think the highsports generally have a good feedback, i would take care of them though.

ive got txtechnic or something coilovers on the front of my nova, and they bang about but thats because i took out the little helper springs, there ideal for what i need them for though so im sure the fks will be better

GAZ on mine. Short bodies too. IIRC GAZ will make them to your requirements. Get the GB info off Stu and call them.

yea they arent that expensive thats one reason id be going for the highsport its only untill i could afford better!! but yea if they have ok feedback ill definately consider it!!

pete ill be going for some gaz ones when i can afford it matey and if they go low enough!!

and edd i know it wont ride as good but its just for shows and the ocasional drive any way i want another motor to be slinging through corners the sr will just look and sound sweet lol
