Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) Gaz Coilovers/Ktec mounts & decat! Back in a clio :)

Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) Gaz Coilovers/Ktec mounts & decat! Back in a clio :)

I carnt have time off. I'm in management and I have a member of staff off at the mo for 2 weeks so if I have time off it only leaves one person in the department which it's virtually impossible to run on your own...
Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) Gaz Coilovers/Ktec mounts & decat! Back in a clio :)

Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) Gaz Coilovers/Ktec mounts & decat! Back in a clio :)
Cheers Dude! I'm not sure to be honest, we lowered the rear on the lowest setting and matched it on the front. The front is alittle lower tho to improve turn in.
Cheers Dan, I honestly wouldnt decat it. If you do...
