Has anyone got any experience with these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150904642394?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
It mentioned in the read up to the item that you need to file away part of the metal to fit in the abs sensor. Does this seem a bit strange???

With mine dan had to file a bit away for the abs wire and we had to cut a few mm off the bolts to stop it from fouling the abs ring. We got ours from pumaspeed on ebay tho

Do you think these are the same or would i be better off going with pumaspeed. Is there a price difference?

Thanks

Have now ordered my spacers, and also some 215/40r17 tyres for the rear. The car has eibach lowering springs so i will let everyone know how i get on. Might be a close one.

I think dan said the coilovers are stiffer so they dont move up and down as much. Think it will definatly be a tight one, especially with the 215's. But theres only one way to find out.
