Blue. It's only the entry level coilover which seems to be fine for my current needs amd falls within my broke student lifestyle.

Achillies 123 can be cheap and used by a lot of competition people.

Re: I want handling performance, not slam-age.
I ended up with a some what entry level first tyre for the car before I start fine tuning. Getting a set of 195/50/15 Nitto nt555. Cheap, somewhat decent. Room for improvement later no.

I'm surprised you used the word upgrade and Dann didn't jump in.
Let us know how she handles once you've had a chance

Haha, ended up finding his GB for frog arms which I have signed up to, and omgpham GB for chassis rails which I am also getting. With the agi half cage as well I am hoping for a nice feeling chassis with lots of handling fun. I will keel people posted with the results I see/feel with the upgrades.

Re: I want handling performance, not slam-age.
I've got some MCA and have had it for quite some time. Looking at the MCA website you would call it 'Gold' by the way things are described now. It is top stuff and virtually unbreakable!
At the time I got it everything MCA/Aussie Proflex was hand made by Murray, but the way I read the website now, the 'Blue' and the 'Red' are imported and only the 'Gold' is still made by them. Have I read this correctly???
