Well give it a month or two and these springs will be up for sale again, plan to go the coilover route.
In a word, bumpy on public roads around my area. haha, but actually when driving spiritedly they do their job well! |

Ive been looking for coilover options for the astina. Far and few unfortunately are readily available.. the only sort i can find/consider are the BC coilovers.
Reading up on them, it seems they have surprised alot of people, even though they are regarded a cheaper option. Anyone had experience with these? |

There are a few Astinas running around with BC coilovers.

Going to get remade.
Didnt come with the middle peice, which is okay. Hence why its booked into a shop, to get a replacement middle stainless piece made. |

I think he means a "mid-pipe" - between the headers and catback pipes
