Ive been banned for less than this ^

Cheers for the warm welcome guys look forward to chatting to you all at some point I guess landy shocks are a no go then? Haha

i had landys on mine for a few months, good for drifting but everything in the car jumped about hurt your back and when i took them off it felt like a real 300 again nice comfy arm chair!!

Ah right, a bit hard then haha

Hmm I want it for drifting but I need to use it daily over winter too as my vans off the road. Might have to have a rethink and get something adjustable then.

Cheers for your help guys

I run Land Rover struts in mine mate. It's fine IMO. Like you say, you want it stiff to skid!

No doubt adjustables will be better, but they're not £40 a set.

Yeah that is true. Its a shame nobody with any locally is around here, would like to get a feel for them before buying a set. might just buy landy ones, try them and see, if i don't get on with them then i may buy adjustables.

I had a VW bora tdi lowered 125mm on coilovers and that was hard as nails. wasn't to bad though to be honest

Scrape scrape scrape goes the engine undertray!

It's fair enough if you're used to the stiffness, the fear that I have is people new to 300s stick on landy shocks and get bored of breaking their back, get bored of the car and sell it on.

Or the car snaps on a fast corner/ roundabout and the driver writes the car off. They are great for drifters as they make the car so snappy, for fast road or track they slow you. New stock stuff designed for the car is better on road.

I run adjustables, but know not everyone wants the cost. Less than most cars though.

Just buy adjustables all round - if you've fitted upgraded suspension to other cars before, then you'll find these a bargain. Gaz do rear adjustables for about £120 delivered

That cheap?! The coilovers on my van were around the £450 mark for the 'cheaper' option. If there that price I may a swell buy adjustables then. Cheers guys

Bought some 13x7 4x100 superlites of a mate who had a 360. 3 are good, 1 is knackered so need one of eBay. Got a load of drift steels too and a brand new yoko a539.

The wheels will be painted up before fitting

Hi Tom.
Welcome to V3M.Your motor looks a cracker.
It will look even better when you get those wheels sorted.
Cheers Mark.

cheers mark, this place is awesome for good welcomes haha

Hopefully they should look ok mate, I'll keep the pics coming, it's in for mot today at 4.45pm , fingers crossed

Some pics of my Astravan- it's since been decked on coilovers!
