If your fitting shocks and springs theres is no need for camber bolts aka magnacams IMO because most, if not all replacement shocks dont have camber adjustment. Camber bolts are only really needed on coilovers IMO
bushes could be changed, but no need
TBH i reckon the best set up (without...

212 doesnt sound like much, but believe me its FOOKING FAST on the road!!!!!
oh and i would love to see someone try and get 200bhp without using throttle bodies!!!!
erm this is where it gets tricky!!!!!
im on et37 but with the 17s i needed to fit 5mm spacers on the front which technically changes the offset on the front to et32!!! BUT the coilovers neeed to be set up perfectly otherwise (as many of you may of seen, cracked wing time!!!!!) But if i were to...
answered your own question there!!!!
If you like it, get it!!!!
As for the quality Ring Dave and ask!!
(BUT I CAN 100% PROMISE YOU ANYTHING DAVE @ K-TEC SELLS IS BRILLIANT, OTHERWISE HE WONT SELL IT!!!!!)
God!!! Would you lot learn how to read!!!!!!! LOL!!!!
He hasnt got a 172!!!!
a 172 dropped 60mm is only possible on coilovers
BUT this chap has a 1.6 and if you lower it 60mm it will be equal to a 172 dropped 40mm
(40mm is the biggest drop available on a 172 with JUST springs)...
na Rob, dont get me wrong, theres nowt wrong with the K-tec!!! Apart from Roamers, but he does have TBs!!!!!
spirez, its simple!!!! Bit of pond pipe wedged into the rear mount to reduce the movement believe it or not!!!!!!
You fit it from underneath the car, ive got one, well worth it, best mod for £££ ive bought!!!!!

nope the cup racers use the magnetti marelli ECU with a std sealed engine (different intake, hence headlight hole) and orbi exzaust IIRC = bout 185 - 190bhp plus the small matter of the suspension and gearbox!!! brakes are std just with different pads IIRC
^^ oh yeah the Magnex is mint too^^ not as loud as k-tec
plus it has that extra bracket for supporting the weight
DONT LET WHOEVER FITS IT, CUT YOUR OLD ONE!!!!! Theres no need to cut the old one to get it off, it can be taken off in 1 piece
na the k-tec is the one to go for!! that and the relocation ind kit gave me 86bhp
The build on them is quite good and they do fit quite well, but i had to do a fair bit of pissing about to get it sitting straight. Ive fitted 2 of them now and theyve both been exactly the same.
They have a...
yeah give it a "mop"
bucket of warm water with a couple of drops of fairy liquid in and some 1500wet and dry
soak the wet and dry paper in the water then rub lightly on the surface
wipe it dry (it will look really bad at this point, but dont worry)
now get your T-CUT out and get...
Its an old picture, but here you go anyway!!! Merlin you need to speak to Dean or sxi boy!!!
