Coilovers, especially if your planning on doing some more track days.

i say get some nitrous mate n have some fun :evil: Mite mean that you wud have to upgrade other engine parts so they can cope with the extra bhp which will cost a bit.

its not all about big bhp, i'd say get the coilovers and getting it handling spot on. I have the avo coilovers and im pleased with them.

:( i was kinda hoping you would all say nitrous. i will more than likely be getting coilovers, but in the back of my mind i know how much fun a 50-shot of nitrous would be.

so the question now is... who makes good coilovers for around ?500

I'd say nitrous, if you are happy with the handling of the car already, then fit the N2O think of the 1/4 mile times!!

What coilovers have you gone for then mate?

Anyway, you'll have to have a shitty looking warning sticker saying you've got nitrous on-board incase your in an accident. I think the proper ones are diamond shaped green ones.

Or you could just not take that precaution.

Coilovers!
