    As you all know I'm forever chasing bigger mods and coilies are getting higher on my list.

    I'm already starting to plan for next year's additions.

    I'd love Club Sports but the sensible part of my brain, both cells, are looking at the below instead.

    I could pay for a shed load of other bits if I got the BR's and, to be honest, I'll probably only ever do a few rare track days so seem a more sensible purchase for me.

    Your thoughts, as usual, would be highly appreciated.

    Thanks, Pete

    I'm sure Clubsports are brilliant, but I struggled to justify spending 20% of my cars value on coils. I went for Meister's and am happy with them


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    Thanks guys.

    I know I'll get loads of answers Brian but if I spend anything above £500 I'd rather spend weeks asking questions and reading the answers than wasting my pennies on stuff that's not really good enough for achieving my goal.

    All answers are gratefully recieved and noted.

    After a trip to 1320 today and a chat with Tom, Scot & Paul I've decided to go for Club Sports.

    They ain't cheap but I'd rather get the best that I can and start to add the big mods that I've always wanted.

    Thanks for all of your input, it is very much appreciated.

    :)

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.
