hi all,

I wanted to share what I thought was a great layman's term from my daughter today.

Last night I showed the family a pic of some lovely shiney new coilovers I ordered for the Zed.

Next day she couldn't recall their name so asked me.

"So have you ordered those black and gold arch spirals then ? "

I went for BC racing coilovers if you like a non OEM suspended car.

Good choice, very very happy with my BC's.
I went 6kg front and 8kg rears.
I use the adjustable dampening too.

Oh thanks for the positive feedback. I will be Road going only but wanted decent quality kit :)

Any tips on initial set up (dampers and front camber position)

Kids are great with the things they come out with sometimes!

I once took my friend's 9yo daughter who loved cars to a car show in my Lotus Elise S2
On the way l told her the car was made from plastic, which left her looking worried.
We met up with her parents at the show and she said to her dad "l'm not going home in that, it's made from milk cartons"

I'll always remember my daughter sitting in the passenger seat of my Rs Turbo giggling and saying " Make it sound like a bus daddy !! "
She related the dump valve to the air brakes she used to laugh and say do it it again do it again, the minds of children are priceless =))

My Granddaughter Chloe said, " Granddad, can I sit in your car with the tent on top?"

We went to the funeral directors to organise Jues Nannas funeral when she passed and Jack spotted a hurse parked up and said "Daddy, I didn't know Rolls Royce made estate cars" bloody brilliant it was after dealing with the above. Jue had tears of laughter rolling down her face which was good to see at the time.
