Thanks for the heads up.it so happened I was thinking of springs today,there's a place not to far from me that dose custom springs to whatever height and poundage so I might see them....coilovers I'm unsure off I might go that way then I suppose atleast I I can drop or rase accordingly Custom made springs are likely to cost a fair % of the cost of coilovers. Iv phoned them and they've quoted £96 plus vat but by the time I've got new struts too u maybe right

turbos eh this is getting interesting i used 170lb 2" lowered springs from Tickover, they're about right for road use. For track abuse 2 1/4" ID coilovers and adjustable platforms would give far more options I am leaning more towards coilovers just for it making things simpler on height I need on the front,its coming close to making a decision one way or other What was the height like mate with the tickover springs

Last couple of days I haven't done alot of physical stuff on the Capri,its mainly been measuring and planning,I'm going for 2 single ally intercoolers for a Nissan 300zx twin turbo.for 2 reasons 1.the twin turbo intercoolers iv seen are alittle to long fit infront of the radiator 2.they fit rather nicely under each wing if I decide to put them there this has a benefit of not been around any sort of heat so heat absorption is minimized
Also I'm looking at going blow thru carb with a extreme velocity tophat its old school yes but its easier to set up and people iv spoke to that have got them have had great results,ill be be getting what I need plus exhaust off summit racing.even with the import tax they're still a good place to go
