Do you think the coil springs are worth doing? much improvement in handling? I guess there is quite a bit of weight to be saved doing the conversion

yeh they are worth doing mate good conversion

Thanks! Only going to do the fronts will get coil overs for the rear but these seem to make a lot of sense for the front end just hope I can run low enough and it is not too soft. I have the same dampers as you on the front they worked well with the turbo's front units

Which lip, the metal arch or the turbo covers? Would have thought you would have taken care of this when you fitted them, I just rolled the arch lip on my arches to get full clearance on the 16's

Something to do I spose as what else can you do to your car now anyway other than keep it clean because you have just
about everything possible fitted

I had to do the same on the ZS rear archs and body kit due to the fact I have lowered suspension and I was running 215/45/17
R888's which scrubbed when loaded up and hitting bumps or harsh corners.

Good finish and nicely detailed!
