Did PAW re-use the distributor for the a5 head or did you need an a7 distributor as well?

The problem with Teins coilovers bar the HAs is that to lower the car you compress the spring and not the shock and you loose suspension travel.
With the BC and HA you pre load the spring and leave it. To lower the car you wind the shock down and keep spring travel.

Car is looking lurvey.

I think they are HA's. The height is adjusted by lowering the spring :?

& cheers ratty :)
