My plan when I get the V6 back on the road is to fit the eibach springs on the b8 shocks... That set up i...

Re: I miss my cav... :(

For some reason the car looses coolant when it stands. Think it needs a proper good look at. if you ever fancy popping over one night ma...

Re: Sound proofing SRi hatch

Dynomat is too expensive. Use silent coat. It's what I used on my cdx. And what pioneer UK used on my new pickup truck when they upgraded the audio system at the factory.

Your car looks high as your tyres are wrong size. You need 60 not 50 profile. Cheap springs will be crap

Re: Want to lower my cav

Buy eibach 35mm springs and stick to a large tyre. 195/60/15 (the set up on my td) comfy springs and you can take roundabouts faster than most drivers. (well with good tyres you can) handling is as much on the tyre as it is with the spring. I use continental eco. Done around 30k miles so far. My old...

Re: leather seats

The backs of tim Sels seats will fit. But you need to use the bracket from your original. Most people just lay the bench down. The rear seats from cdx/ diplomat often come up cheap on ebay.
