I'm thinking of going the same route with my ZT but I don't wanna mess anything up because it's so nice haha. I want the coilovers to fit and function perfectly to make the handling better and get rid of the gap in the arches.
For example, I would like to be able to take it to a trackday and feel safe about my suspension! Is the modded bmw coilovers a safe and solid solution?
Btw, I love the look of your Rover 45!
if you follow the guide and make sure you use the correct washers after welding the top mount bushing in place. they're a bit sqeaky but they work fine.
You will need the correct drop links, I currently don't have any.
the coilovers I used are terrible frankly, but they were only £150. some good quality coilovers will help. you may benefit from different slightly stiffer rear springs if you have a tourer as mine sometimes compress fully and bottom out causing a rather stiff jolt.
