Re: Koni coil-overs
Here is a quick snap-shot of the car on the operating table. Those are Dunlop Z1's and they should be great for the Autocross. Also this car did NOT have a rear sway bar. Is that normal? Oh yeah..Finally what color should I paint the calipers? White? I saw a silver/gray color. Or maybe Lime Green?

Re: Koni coil-overs
a U.S. car eh........it should have a rear sway bar...OEM is 14mm... im putting in h&r 25mm front and 19mm in the back.
as for the calipers go Red or Yellow!!!! they will pop with the black rims. i have gray to color match my car and dont like them.

Re: Koni coil-overs
Thanks Jazz! I did think about Red, but everybody is using red. Yellow, now that might work. Let me give that some thought.
I bought this car used and carfax didn't indicate that it had been in a wreck...So I wonder why this puppy won't have a sway bar? I trust the shop that is doing the work, as I race with them each weekend.
Lastly, you know anything about the Blister suspension kit? This is the fully adjustable set. Good, bad, ugly...All three?

Re: Koni coil-overs
whith a black wheel you need a hot caliper!!! not sure about blister.....i like KW and Bilstein Coilover Kits, you do get what you pay for in most suspensions. i think i have about 5/6k in my suspension.
hey, is your car AWD? and what motor do you have?

Re: Koni coil-overs
I am sorry, it is a Bilstein system.
My TT is just a 1.8 FWD. I got it at a good price, so I took it. I have a stage II APR flash on it and will be moving to the Stage III (bigger turbo, intercooler, etc.). Tires, suspension, and stuff I have about 6k in it.
