Add RX8 yellow dot ARBs and new drop links to your list. ARBs can be picked up for £45 off eBay and transform the car. Reduces roll a lot but does t make it horribly stiff.
You wanna drive mine on lowering springs before you commit to Coilovers? I really rate the springs and standard dampers.

You may have to send me a ebay link, I was thinking getting hold of the IL ones from MX5parts?
Yeah understand what your saying with standard dampers, but I think It better to do it all.
My Mk3 only done 39K now and to see the last owner only done 3k the last 3 years.
It's done a lot of just sitting in the garage, reason sold he not even done 600 miles this year from MOT.
It was his wife car and she got Parkinson's and not been able to get in and out of it.
So he only took it out on long runs, A sitting still shock may not like the lowering option.
Last MOT was ARB links dust covers deteriorated all apart from one he had replace the year before, so ARB links me looking at

Well the RX8 yellow dot anti roll bars on, I'm whacked 3 link bars needed drilling out.
Will test drive tomorrow, mistake made?
Well I bought polybush rubber mounts that fit the standard bars, the hole on them I little to small.
Live and learn a lol

She just hit 57K miles Little scratch on drivers door, plus a little dent somewhere top side rear. Did try looking the other day and could not spot it, but I know it there somewhere lol Any Idea what price I should place, Oh Mot last week so Mot runs out July 2021. Not easy selling something I not really want to go |

Sorry to hear that Perhaps work out what similar mileages and conditions are selling for and then add a bit for the mods? |

But 57K miles I'm not seeing a Bose under £4000! So I'm thinking £3600 and If you want the hard top that be an extra £400? |

It's always hard to sell cars, especially one you're attached to - although that might just be me and my reluctance to haggle or face the possibility of someone 'trying it on'.. lol I think that seems reasonable to me - not standard so might reduce the target audience and also mean you won't get the full cost of the mods back, and some minor bumps/scratches someone might want to spend a little to get fixed, but good condition and a very reasonably priced hardtop! Get it cleaned really well, get a lot of good photos, get it up on Pistonheads and the 5 forums, hopefully you'll get a buyer without too much hassle  |
