Ok so it has been a long time since I updated anything here!
Well since then I did my exhaust manifold gaskets(Thanks Vlade) and they work great! Also replaced a few bushes and...and...and...
Got my self a set of coil overs and a few other bits and pieces!
First off I wanna say thanks to Faheem and the guys who helped at FSR, then to Oscar thanks for a great set of coil overs and camber arms.
You guys did an awesome job and its super to know people like you.
Here is some pics of what has been fitted!

Now I'm getting 20mm wheel spacers to sort the offset out.
New rear discs will be up soon and then Polly bushes if my finances hold out.
Then at a later stage the rest of the suspesion parts and then some time to save for my new wheels!
I think this is the best mod on a SX. It feels like a new car. Steering is hard and responsive. "Feels like you have been fitted with Gods hands"
It sticks around corners in the dry like you wont believe. Power slides so nice and I can't wait to get it into a drift. It should be awesome.
I'm busy designing a sticker that says woman should wear sports bra's if they want to drive with me! Ha ha

Drove a sx with stock suspesion, then drove one with a drop kit, and then drove mine with the coils.
Its hard at first, but the one with the drop kit was just as hard, takes some getting use to.
Its comfortable on smooth roads, as soon as you hit a bad patch then its horrible. But then again so is the one with the drop kit.
Its a bit bouncy, just a but, but thats on bouncy roads, but it settles the rear well. You can feel you have full control at all time. Every bump in the road talks to you via the steering so thus you know at all times what is going on. None of that fake steering and suspesions that make you feel like you are flying.
To set them up now and to get them the way I like them best is gonna take some time and playing around a bit. There is so much you can do.
Coil overs aren't really designed for comfort. So don't expect any.
Also said I havn't even started to play around with the million of settings there is. I just dropped it the lowest it can go which is 2.5 inches.
Personally I want it harder. You get some red springs which are made for drifting. I want them.
Front camber = -1 deg
Rear camber = -1 deg
Toe all round = 0 deg
