Hey, wait a minute? Duel Exit exhausts on a 110???

What does that do for performance?

Definetly need to do an engine swap with a KV6

oh and Coilovers are the same accross the ZS range IIRC... you can adjust hight and stiffness so should be the same part

so if i were to go for coilovers would it mean sacrificing ride comfort? or can you have it really low and still comfy?

The beuty of coilovers is you can adjust it to any setting (within a range) that you like...

So you can have soft and low for every day and then with a twist of a knob (oo err!!) you can have hard n low for track day use.

Don't go too soft though else you'll hit the bump stops! (not to mention make your handling worse!)

Personally I like it hard anyway...

Look OK but prefer the older ones. Still looks nice though.
Don't drop in a KV6. Never build a car you can buy. Waste of time and effort. It certainly makes your car unique being the 110.

Nice but as already said, prefer the old ones !

Also, from what i've previously been told regarding suspension set ups, the 180 and the diesel use different springs and dampers to the rest of the range due to the extra weight up front

Sammy i am gonna go against the first couple and say those new rims really set the car off. Look much better than the others IMO.

Oh and as for the coilovers yeah you could simply go for some designed for the 180 (although to be honest never seen um defined specifically) would just need to make sure it used a slightly lower spring rate at the front and slightly softer damper setting.
