Can i ask why? more flex etc

You have a very nice system in place. Lots of work to fit long coilovers as they require custom mounts etc.

i'll take the D44 brackets and bump stops if theyre the right money Thumbs Up

not interested in the king shocks, overkill for my 110. the mounts and bump stops with a set of Koni raids will do me

the mounts are over kill for any over shock as the holes for pins are alot bigger

i'm running those mounts up front with OME shocks, work fine. i have Gwyn top rear mounts with Simons bumpstops mounts rear - pin/pin again work fine.

If you want to split the D44 stuff and TiG has the mounts i would potentially be interested in the king shocks depending on ££

ref coilovers

people i know of who have done it well
