I was in the middle of fitting them and decided to hold off and upgrade the shocks at the same time, and renew the top mounts. Unexpected, so I'm saving now for shocks (hence my other thread Koni vs Bilstein).

Fingers crossed i'll be ordering at the end of feb.

If you're doing springs, struts and top hats. It's probably cheaper and easier to go with coilovers.

Most coil overs don't come with top mounts and use the standard ones, PSS10's are £2500 whereas bilstein B8 and H&R's are £1200.

There might be more choice in the US though.

Most coils I have looked at come with top mounts, granted I am in the US but still. You also get control over much more with coils. If your only within 300 euro or so, it might be worth it.

Coilovers are overrated and unneeded to the 75% of the people that have them IMO.

BTW, I'm one of those that probably don't "need" the GT3 CO's that I have. In my case, I wanted a stance in between the ROW and X74 and this was one of the options to achieve that.

Track and Stance freaks only need apply...
