Wow thats a lot of cash! I have coilovers on my 200sx! you are never happy and always fiddling with the ride hieght too! costs a fortune in alignment
They were £151 delivered from DPM off here mate!
very nice! how much were the springs??
what's fitting like? easy DIY or best leave someone else to do it?
Also, is that 30mm??
Thanks! Really thinking about getting mine done now!
bit late fro pdh now but have heard from several sources that beefing up ARBs is a very good move.
Audi A3 boys reckon the standard spring rate/dampers are just fine(they probably sit lower than Altea anyways) but the ARB stiffening makes a big impact.
More so on the Altea I would have thought since we sit that little bit higher CoG than A3/Leon.
312mm upgrades? all that is required are new carriers from VAG sports I think it is. And new 312mm discs. Pads are the same as the calipers are reused. GSF do a bundle deal on pads/discs if you ask.
A worthwhile and very easy upgrade, especially if you're remapped.
Will make fitting my 312's easier... as I won't need to change calipers, and bleed the fluid.... although I will end up with red carriers and a bare metal calliper....
suppose I can change the callipers at a later point when I get time !

Hope this helps.

Mine are just metal - no red flash 'arry in my drive way
"Painting Calipers" vs. swapping for pre-painted ones.....
6 of one, and half a dozen of the other.....
It could do with new brake fluid anyway to be honest, so I'll probably fit the Gti calipers
Sorry for hijacking your thread mate !!!
yep got mine and a mates ordered today thanks!
Shame about the dump valve! I'm a 35 year old boy racer at heart lol
Nice work on that mate! forgot that i'd like to upgrade to the 312's too,don't suppose you still have the part no's for that conversion do you?
David at Seremotors will be able to get the parts for you unless you want to source ones yourself. New Calipers, Brake Discs and Brake pads are all that is needed.
£85 for the discs... http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=210449
Just keep an eye out on the forums for old Mk5 Golf Gti setup's.... or Mk2 Octavia vRS ones
