this is the yellow and blue kit yeah? i always get mixed up..
if so then yes its one of the best kits out there for the nova, bar coilovers. i have it on my LET and its mint!! im sure if you put higher poundage springs on the front to handle the weight of the xe then it would be even better. i havent done this and its still an impressive kit!! go get it

yea it is. really, you rate it that high? 325 is that good price?
courteney do a 2.0 16v kit using bilstein dampers and uprated front springs
dont suppose you know much they charge?

ooooo, bit diff to 325, does any1 else sell a similar kit, courtney do tend to b a little overpriced :(
i paid about ?50 just for front springs, but then sold them because i changed my mind about a 2.0L conversion
get the dampers cheaper from elsewhere then go to them for the springs
u paid 50 for front springs, high poundage ones? where from, courtney??
yep. ring them for prices. i sold the for ?60, including postage and packaging and i think that was a bit less than what i paid
coool, im on the phone!! :D damn there shut! :cry:

the courtney bilstein kit is more expensive as they have the shoks specially valved for them,and them only.
Just get the shocks wherever you can get them cheapest,then get the 2ltr springs from courtney,thats what i did.
The 2ltr courtney springs make one hell of a difference,best ?50 on suspension ive spent!
I had the standard billy yellow/blue streetline kit and it was still bouncy at the front(with XE)the 2ltr springs sorted this and surprisingly made it more comfortable.
