Just seen reference to this on another post.

What are the advantages and what exactly is changed?

How much does it cost presuming it is a home spannering job?

Where is the best to get a full geo check nearest to Lancaster?

Sorry about all the newbie questions but thats what forums are for eh!

The shock absorbers are changed, together with the front or rear suspension mounts, depending on the ride height required. It's less than two hour's job, all told.

Can't help re the geometry.

Steve Butts will advise and sell you a set, including brackets, or some of the dealers have kits. A search on seloc (www.seloc.org) will bring up all the information you need.

The end result is a more tautly controlled car with a better, quieter ride.

Its just the coilover units and the brackets changed.

It can be done in under an hour quite easily if you are reasonobly competent
