I have coilovers on mine - I need 2mm spacers up front on 8J but all depends on the offset of your wheels mate

and the brand (therfore the thickness) of the coilovers too :wink:

quite the opposite.. my coilovers are quite slim.. it's the fact that coilovers sit behind the wheels and not with the spring seat above as on standard shocks.

I do have some issues with teh front and the arch - but only beacuse I'm running that spacer - and that is only due to the fact that I'm running coilovers..

change one thing and sometimes it leads to the necessity of changing a whole load of others to accomodate..

ahh.. the pleasures of modification ](*,) :mrgreen:

all i did was wash it with Maguires Car shampoo stuff (purple colour stuff - oh but of course ! :lol: O:) )

and then went over it with Maguires quick mist detailer stuff before i headed off to the meet
.. those pics were taken after i drove from Essex, to the meet in Bolney and then onto Eastbourne / Hastings (about 100 miles in total) .. 1999 metalic paint also helps i guess as a starting point 8-[

I've gotta be fair Frank, and I think I probably speak for nearly everyone on IMOC, your car is probably one of the most beautifull I've ever seen. Not only is it a credit to you, but a worthy masthead for IMOC itself.

A truly exceptional MR2 mate. Well done. =D>
