    You have done yourself proud with this car! Always loved the MK2 MR2!

    Random fact of the day...
    The same guy who designed the MR2 MR2 also designed the MK4 Supra.


    Looking forward to further updates on this :thumbright:

    thanks guys its recently gone through a restoration that my brother did i would like to keep it original as possible then hopefully enter show and shine comps because sometime less is more

    there has been more spent on it but they are service items like cambelt and tensioners, clutch a new sump and as its 20years old i replace every gasket in the engine even tho it has done less than 65000 miles i will be replacing the radiator with an alloy rad in the future
    and this is how bad iam at trying to keep it looking good i was missing a strut cap so i spent £10 on one just because it was ment to be there

    if you're only wanting to lower by 30mm, would it not be miles cheaper getting a shock and spring combo than coilovers?

    its not just the height adjustment, a good coilover will change the car in more ways than aesthetics. Dont buy cheap, you'll get a crap ride and poor handling. I bought cheap then bought expensive ones later...
