I also run Motul brake fluid which does help ALOT. I ran castrol super dot 4 ( silver bottle ) for about a month a few years back and it lasted about 2 minutes before it was boiling.

Coilovers, as everyone says, are great value for money BUT i think they are a bit extreme on shitty adelaide roads. Driving up Greenhill road towards Mt Lofty with the coilovers is a bit bumpy, the rear always bounces around. Each to their own i guess. I can tolerate the bumpyness most of the time. Driving to Melbourne wasn't great fun though.

so the slotteds are worth it then? ill get a price on them tomorrow at work, its annoying coz all the listings are for american trim selections so im not sure exactly which model the gli converts to in american, if all else fails i can just measure them and check it that way. i know i need new rear shocks coz my springs in the back have annihilated the shocks and theyre making noise so i might just find some monroes or kybs for the time being to get me through with some sense of sanity
