its not that im worried about it being dangerous. i want it to work well, i would rather spend a bit more and get some nice shocks, im looking for something like blistien kyb boge or spax shocks and eibach springs second hand for around the 150-180 mark, gas charged is an absolute must, my car is an L reg and the springs have compressed unevenly and the left hand damper sounds like its not right, i want to have it low and hard with good high speed compression damping and quite fast rebound, ive heard that kyb gas charged shocks are good for the money, ive seen alot of springs for 80 to 120new but the low priced ones are from companies ive nevr heard of before im not to sure what im actualy buying i may buy the springs first and save up for some nice shocks later, i thought comming on here and seeing what people have would be best. does anyone around the cambridge area have a cg10 gearbox too that would be excellent, or know how to reapair the syncromesh on second gear. cheers all
