Coilovers, improves looks no end with improved handling BUT they're more expensive than springs.

id go for the tints, induction and springs to get u started chris then maybe coilovers in the future maybe?

same for me :wink:

[tommy1989]

1 question what are coilovers

[spooky_fish]

yep go stick with what dan the dan says

[mikeyd54]

Id go with coillies dude, Theres nothing better than a c2 slammed on its ass, and i dont think ull find any springs thatl give it anywhere near the same drop! You can sort the tints and induction out later on! :)

[Ribena]

coilovers! chances are...you will never save up as much money again to buy them if you dont buy them now =P

do it do it do it! getting mine fitted tmoro! nicx

[Danny]

less is more :D

im starting to sway towards those but am unsure about getting springs incase they damage the shocks

[gixxer]

height and damping adjustable suspension mate!! basically you can lower your car by like a silly amount with the right kit.

I'd go coilovers mate, springs won't damage your shocks but it might take a week for them to settle properly!! i got koni shockers and extra low's and I wish i'd have got coilovers as the front isn't low enough for me...

hope that helps? lol

[hughes741]

at the moment the main problem is trying to justify the cost (nearly £700) to myself for just lowering it.

£700 sounds a bit pricey mate got all mine sorted (bought and fitted) on FK's for around £450

[Mr_C2_GT]

The price has gone up since I bought mine unfortunately as I paid just £420. Here's a couple of links tho, i'm sure if you shop around tho you'll find something cheaper

[hughes741]

thank you :) are they as good as the silverlines?

[Mr_C2_GT]

To be honest I was nearly tempted into buying the silverlines as they apparently are supposed to last longer due them being stainless steel coated i think. But then again I haven't had any problems from mine and I highly recommend them. All depends really how long u intend on keeping the car? If your looking at around 5 years or so then I'd go for the silverlines otherwise you can save a bit of cash and get the same look

[hughes741]

ive got another choice now aswell ive just got hold of the person who is selling the numberplate "c2 vtr" for £800 :) but i can only afford 1 of the 3 options this month :(

[Jodie-Ill...Again]

Changed my mind - i would sooooo go for the number plate :)

[hughes741]

i am very tempted to go for that :)

thank you ellis for helping me track him down

[Jodie-Ill...Again]

I would chick - this might be the only chance you get to get that plate, you can always get the coillies or tints again cant you ;)

[hughes741]

does anyone know how long it takes to sort a private plate. and is it safe buying it privatley

[ellis]

thats allright chris i would go for the plate m8 lol get the tints induction kit and springs l8er on next month imho

regards
ellis

[ellis]

doesn't take too long m8 only really the length for the two log books to be sent off the donor car and the other 1 much quicker to go to the dvla office tho. they said it would take 28 days sending them off i went up there got it sorted in 20mins and the docs came through the next day lol...

it should be okay buying it private not too sure what too look out for when buying as i bought mine brand new lol.

hope this helps

regards
ellis

[petrolhead]

Plate, definitely the plate!

[Craig]

scrap the plate hes had so many problems trying to sell that.

its had so many owners too first person was a member on c2sc who had it haha!.

although if you do get it you may have the same problems in trying to sell it. but by then there will be more c2s so may not have a problem i guess :)

upto you i would get the coilies or the option of the induction kit though dunno

[shockwaves]

i would go for the coilies mate, im still debating the FK silverlines at £450 or just for springs atm

[Simon72]

If it does cost you £700, just remember the increase aswell in your car insurance premium.
Most insurance companies increase your premium more for coilovers due to you are able to vary the height from day to day.
Unlike springs where they know you are limited to a fixed height and the premium only goes up a little.

[hughes741]

wheres that from ? cheapest ive found is near £600

[hughes741]
