    why not coilovers?

    WTF< you went ahead and bought those after being warned at the beginning? Now i'm not saying everyone buy ours, but there are other options, and the price difference between the Megans and GodSpeeds is nominal, especially when you have an experienced vendor tell you how bad the GodSpeeds are...

    Are coilovers really worth it?

    /\/\ Word to the bumpstops and travel. Thats why most coilovers these days are all built with independent ride height travel. Where the damper cartridge threads into the lower bracket for ride height adjustment. Thats what allows you to go real low and not compromise the travel, like you would...

    Removing Seats

    Eeew, i dont like the Recaros in MKIIIs. They have a tendency to sit you up way to high so you mash your head into the roof

    Considering NA-T

    Well yeah, if you've got a great condition engine I'd say go ahead its definately worth it. All you gotta do is bolt on some stuff and you basically have a GTE minus the oil squirters... which arent such a big deal Now if the original GE wasnt in the best of conditions, thats when I really...

    Coilovers

    OMG NO!! GodSpeed's coilovers are horrible. I USED to sell those (never to anyone with an MKIII) and after seeing and hearing from others that had them on their and a couple sets that we had to warranty I just stopped selling that garbage all togehter. THey make some other decent stuff, but not...

    Removing Seats

    ugh, not moving the seats sucks depending what position they're stuck in. But there just 4 14mm bolts holding the fronts in. 1 at each corner. Pretty easy to see and do with just a box wrench

    Wow, that thing looks like it was in a time capsule or something. Very well taken car of 20 year old car!!

    Considering NA-T

    NA-T vs GTE. THis is like the SR vs. KA-T battle, it never ends and is pointless. Sure and NA-T is just fine. If its tuned GOOD and done properly will be just as reliably as the GTE. No problem there. My only "doubt" about it would be, GTEs arent expensive engines. I would think it could...

    mk4 brakes to mk3

    The night pager sucks. Its hella janky and the pad over hangs from the edge of the rotor a little. The only BOLT ON solutions you have without some custom fab or modification are the AZP wilwoods or the Doward Mustang brakes. Both are 13" brakes Wilwood is a 4 piston caliper- Mustang is...

    ksport or stance?

    Well you need a stiffer spring in the front because thats where MKIIIs are weight biased. The default rates on ours are 14kg/10kg, and thats a really good balance between a streetable ride and still being able to hold its own at track days. But if you're doing more racing or something as opposed...

    Are coilovers really worth it?

    If you actually READ entire other posts instead of focusing on one point, I never said thats what I think matters. I come from a road racing background where proper suspension geometry and angles are very closely scrutinized. I was talking about what the OP posted about drifting. And NO, thats...

    Are coilovers really worth it?

    /\/\ Thats also not entirely true. Coilovers with independent ride height adjustment dont sacrifice travel to lower.

    MKIII in movies and tv.

    FAST TRACK- not Fast Lane. Yeah, dork with the Focus gets his hand cut off. Thats what imitation Vin Diesel does if you lose a race

    Are coilovers really worth it?

    Poodles, out of the factory of course they're all valved the same. But what he's saying is that with them being completely re-buildable like ours if the "factory setting" doesnt suit you, either you or the manufacturer CAN revalve them to whatever you want. One thing I do know about BC though is...

    Are coilovers really worth it?

    WTF!? There are hella cars running "off the shelf" setups, with perhaps some custom spring rates. And with all this rebuilding and customing and etc, etc, etc your talking about, now you've racked up a bill for twice as much as some Zankoku, BC, Stance, PBM coilovers, which are all very...
