What is up with people. I can understand budgets don't necessarily allow the luxury of being able to purchase top end suspension gear but I wouldn't make a comprimise to the car's safety (or other road users either) just to save a few pennies.

As for the letter box sunstrip..... er, well, I'm lost for words!

lol a mate of mine owned the red bora pictured above, he had coilovers in it and he took them out and repleced it with standard suspension with "Bosch Adjustables" bacause the coilovers "weren't low enough"

he totally removed the rear springs and G-Clamped the spring cups together so there was no suspension movement at all

When I was at school (a long time ago now lol) if you did GCSE MVE (motor vehicle engineering), they had a spaceframe mini 850.

Well, its wasnt quite spaceframe, it was built out of old school table frames. That had no suspension and they were forever welding things back together on it, and it was only ever driven on a really level field or a carpark. It was full of cracks

Id hate to be a rear passenger in that
