yeah good question! its so confusing choosing sports suspension, everywhere i read i hear conflicting opionions on brands.
however, i do fancy some H & R coil overs for £650.

H&R all the way!!! I have them on my siR and love ‘em! These are real coilovers as opposed to the sleeve & spring stuff you can get on ebay. The only thing with the H&R is that the dampening isn’t adjustable, but to their credit I think they have got it spot on and it’s a good compromise between comfort & handeling.

it looks different cos i moved the car between pics!
the suspension is PI setup with a 50mm drop and the rear bumper comes as standard on uk models
dont worry jim this one wont be totalled, ive already lost one aint gonna lose another...., up in my neck o the woods these things are rare i had to travel 250 miles to get this one as apose to getting the red one in my home town! :rolleyes:

couldnt agree more m8 i wanted to get rid of the gay forgs and get a small plate, thats why i put a square one on mine.
When I get the wings west Kit for the DX I will have the number plate sizes of the us so i can get some motorcycle plates or Square plates to put on it !!!

there may be a problem with that though...
its illegal to use non standard plates.
ive been DYING to take off my front one cause it looks so unbelivebly awful.
there ARE however, legal plate specification for special imported vehicles that dont have enough space to fit regular plates,
but you have to prove that your car is an import.
you might be able to get away with it, let me know how it goes, cause ill follow your lead!

yeah it could work.
my mate with the KA (yeah him again) has non standard plates but keeps a standard set with him just incase he gets stopped.
nd he has been a coupla times.
there seems to be a growing craze of people moving their number plates like to one side, kinda like an alpha or an evo6 which can look good if its there for a purpose, but i think it looks dodgy on a 1.0l fiesta!

are there more americans on this board than non americans or what? i would think that more questions about there language would be asked. i mean bits = parts, and bonnet = hood, its all confusing to me.

yeah
hood = bonnet
trunk = boot
fender = bumper i think
header = manifold
intake = induction kit
license plate = number plate
cluster = dials
shit like that !
