I haven't, but let me know how you get on as I've a set very similar in the MX5 and trying to figure out of I should get them refurbed or just buy a new set

Yeah, there's another set to come out of another car here and they will be in a worse state (20 years old probably). Not entirely sure refurbishment is viable looking at them.
Figuring that new shocks, lowering springs and top mounts will be about half the price of replacement coilovers so may just have to continue on with that avenue.

Oh, after a bit of searching I found this which might help:
Have sent an enquiry, will let you know what they say Gav. Can see me opting for Meister R's or something as Tein prices can be scary (although the refurb prices on that page aren't TOO bad).

I keep meaning to check what new updates are available now, there have been at least 2 updates since I last used mine.
Carista is great! I don't understand the parts where you have 1, 2 or 3 of the same setting
Ive changed a right few. Handiest one is the auto handbrake release for the Audi.

Today I spent a bit of time cleaning up and removing some surface rust in the drivers lower inner arch, before it became a future problem. Stupidly didn’t take a before pic, but here is it covered in seam sealer lol

yea, BMW apps, seem quite a few posts about it online - nothing NI based tho... think it’s a Combox and some coding

Brakes replaced, calipers tidied and waxoil applied as the Dynax UC wouldn't spray properly...
Felt like I'd struck feckin oil. So much mess. Had to clean my arms with brake cleaner. Don't even want to think what the garage floor is like. Will buy the UC in aerosols before I go through that clabber again lol
Letting it set a bit then firing Bilt hamber S50 into the cavities like sills, chassis legs, etc.
Then wheels on next week and GTFO for a spin!

Cheers mate. That’s good info there also, thanks. Not even sure what type are in the Mx5 lol. Let me know if they get back to you

That's my hold up at the minute, they have asked for info off the other set and I'll need to rip the wheels off and take pics. Should have done that first before emailing lol.

Did it once years ago. Never again. Awful awful job and it takes forever to do it properly.

Lessons learnt - the front half of the car had fairly good access and I could brush the UC on nice and neat. It's cured and looks fairly decent. Back half of the car looks like a grenade went off in a bucket of waste oil
Cleaned things up a little today, will resume the final rustproofing on Monday I think. Least that's one done!
