    Coilovers latest and greatest

    I'm in the market for real quality coilovers, mainly for street use so comfort is important. What are people running and recommending from experience ? Im currently driving on CS2's and they are far to hard for the driving on Irish roads. Thanks in advance!

    grinding gear box

    This has been niggling away at me since I've had the car- I have no idea why it does it and more importantly what causes it.
