That looks excellent, I think you should keep the rear as it is and lower the front some more.

Re: My Grande Punto - updated 30/8/2008 coilovers fitted

nice.

as others have said, it needs leveled out a bit - it currently suffers from "springs syndrome" - where people who buy springs never ever get enough lowness on the front, whereas the back looks like the springs have busted

one question - why dont you just have one thread and keep it updated?

Re: My Grande Punto - updated 30/8/2008 coilovers fitted

Looks good, let them settle in and then we'll see. How is it like to drive?

Also you must have spent quite a fair bit on the GP? Over £2k?

not right now, but im looking

Re: My Grande Punto - updated 30/8/2008 coilovers fitted

Just buy a Tjet and move everything over. Much cheaper/easier and insurance wont rape you for having an an engine conversion and when you come to sell it its gonna be **** load easier.

Re: My Grande Punto - updated 30/8/2008 coilovers fitted

its such a pain in the arse swapping everything though :bang:

Re: My Grande Punto - updated 30/8/2008 coilovers fitted

Because its not a pain in the arse to do an engine conversion, swap ECU's and loom, swap over TC, etc?
