Told you :wink:


Fairly new to the forum so forgive me if this has been done to death but does Phat GT actually source these for you or would one need to source bilsteins from wheelpower (dont really know who these guys are yet but can google) and then Phat GT sources the springs?

If the former, is it simply a matter of emailing Phat GT on the email address he has created? Dont know where to start this guy seems to have the shiznit

Factor in the price upping the spring rates a touch (theyre 4.1 and about 5.5 from memory) to about 5 and 7. Easily done through eibach or pey thrformanceshock (the vendor for those listed above, theyre on consignment in NZ).

But yep, nothing will come close to these for a bolt on option. From there you go to Ohlins DFV, and then full custom setups like MCA or penske in threaded housings etc.
Dont know the weight on the PCV's but I know my DFV were nearly 12kg lighter of unsprung weight.
