Why do you think its a waste of money then?
Probably because they think that you need a quick car with big engine to start with.
I loved the coilovers on my car ok its not that quick straight lines but if you could drive it well on a race track (the instructer did) you can overtake modified 2.0 Clios.
It isnt worth it though then again modifying a car isnt, infact buying any quick car is a waste since the speed limit is 70mph in this country.We do these things because we want to.
It was worth it though for me as I wanted to do some track work and it was a cheap way to make a car which wasnt abismal plus the firmer ride was a bonus. Buying a 172 etc was an option but doing the milage I do plus the money Id pay in insurance and servicing put wind to that idea.
Ive got a quick car now for track work and yes the dci is no compaison it would beat it round a track but insurance is £1.1k 3rd party, its a noisy car to drive and expensive to run.
