Turbo suspension parts on an ES?

I'm looking to do a complete overhaul on my ES suspension. Am I best off going for 'turbo' items? I presume KYB's are generic 480 items and don't differentiate between normal ES' and turbo? I'm also considering forking out and going for Bilstein or Spax, in this case, are there any differences betwe...

Re: Front spoilers - for sale

I take it these are long gone and never to be repeated?

My front spoiler snapped off and I badly need a replacement. Carbon fibre for £65 was cheap!

Wanted: 170bhp+ Turbo (manual)

I'm after a 170bhp+ 480 turbo manual with all the 'right' parts on it. Ideally, richmod, 40mm springs with bilstein/koni shocks, lots of replacement parts so it drives properly. I want either a mint one or a parts car with the above. I have a Paris edition which might get the full turbo treatment OR...

Re: 1.7 n/a - what are the tuning options?

If you put a turbo engine in, it would need a new wiring loom as well. Yes, one has been supercharged by rpruen; don't think he visits the forum these days. Don't think you'll ever get much extra out of a N/A engine & you could spend a lot of money trying. If you convert to carbs, you'll have probl...
