Off road you can notice but on the road not so much . You will never get a ride like airbag . But I’d say it’s the same as stock coils and shocks . I looked into 2nd hand . But same . How long will it last . Move coated the shocks in wg90 . When I service I clean and re coat . Same when I do the brakes . Paint red oxide . And wax oil any steel . . Well worth it for n the long run .

Hi I converted to coilovers and profited from it . £800 for the kit . I did the conversion . Sold the old units for around £200 each . And the pump for £250 . It don’t handle off road as nice as it did but on the road cornering is stiffer . I tried lower profile wheels and tyres to see if it was better but didn’t like the look . I now lifted the suspension up . Happy now . But it is a 15 year old Car now . But longer I can keep it going the better I love it . Some hates out there but I like it

aderz my solution is not far from yours . I got gaffs tape folded it in half and slid it between the light and dash face . Pretty easy to do looks better . Pull the facia off 4 screws will get the console out and 2 wire plugs . A few gold screws holding the white part on . And some plastic clips . And then once in gently pulled the unit apart the rev needle popped off slid the tape in pipes it all back . No more flashing light . There might be fuses or a wire . But I ain't got time like I used to . The ride ain't as good as it was off road but on the road handles much better . Little more stiff but I've setup 30mm lower that stock and softest setting on damper . Bc coilover were the cheapest I could find but if I was going to do it again knowing I could sell the old for those silly prices I'd have got stock replacements . And not profited of the job. But one good thing . Didn't cost me ,it made me money lol . I paid £3800 3 half years ago and I've been offered £2000 for it but love it to much

I got in touch with this guy on eBay. Also found someone who has used this kit and happy . Cost wise look like a good deal . I want to clean as much as I can got black wax oil spray and and a load of cleaning tools . Ready . Does taking the bulb out in the dash work . When I got my car the ecu light was on but bulb removed .didn't know till I had m.o.t put a bulb in and had p0301 and p0302 . I think .catalyst below threshold . But the garage changed the sensors and added a inch spacer and now all works as normal . And emissions are 0.010 . Passed last year with a knock from steering advise . Said could be top mount . So been waiting for it to fail . I got new discs and pads to fit and two front wheel bearings . I changed everything on the rear 2 years ago . Cables shoes discs pads and refurbished calliper seals . Your advice has helped me make the jump cheers

Ye I still have mine . Gotta say . Think they saved my car from crashing . http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/crash-left-one-car-roof-10703429 i passed this crash just after it happened . I could have been the 4wd or tyres . But only the tyres were on the ice . Definitely won't be scrimping on tyres ever again . As for comfort and sound . Best tyre I've had :)
