    Latest on the C70, I bought a set of coilovers for the car, and fitted them yesterday. Very happy with the way the car sits now, though obviously the ride has suffered, and it does tend to clonk over bumps now.
    Rears fitted:


    Fronts fitted:


    And the result:




    Also fitted the strut brace:

    they have a helper spring to stop the possibility of the seat moving down i think - all ride height adjustable coilovers i have seen are like this. - the kw ones i fitted had it as well.
