Just wondering which ones to go for realy

 

Ahmed's ones all the way m8,handling is superb on my saph now.

 

By a million miles!

 

i cannot fault ahmed's stuff mate, never let me down and its gets some abuse

 

Any pics of Ahmed `25mm ones on a saff with Konis,preferably with RS 7`s on as well

 

I've got koni's but no rs7's only mo's.

 

They only lower the car by 10-15mm....

Is Euans car on 17s Mike?

 

It is m8.

 

And how much are they with my PassionFord discount Mike

 

£170 delivered .

 

Thought they were both made at the same place....

Buy leda -12mm plus 10% harder than standard.....be cheaper and about the same

 

FUCK ME....

Thats well expensive, I'd be giving a spring company a call like the ones in sheffield.....

 

That is not the case, as they are specially wound to Ahmed's specs and they sell so many off the back of Ahmed, that they won't divulge the spring rates or sell the same spec to anyone but Ahmed.....

Also the rates and heights differ to each type of Cosworth, so that they achieve the same performance level / ride height compromise.

 

Awesome

I bet you can't tell the difference over the springs i just mentioned and ahmed's....

Problems lie with how crap road koni's are......

 

Sorry it was a general rule...

Not everybody's driving style suits the same springs so your best testing things on your own.

I drove a 400bhp escort cosworth with ahmed spec stuff on thought it handled shit, to light on the rear and and bit washy on the front - on the road that was....

 

Yet the owner thought they were BRILLIANT . Obviously they will never be as good as proper race-spec stuff, but what do you expect ? They are certainly the best things to get for the money, and MUCH better than the budget coil-overs IMO (having had both on my Sapphire) .

 

He thought they were that good he changed em

He thought they were good until he tried something else - FACT...

We are ditching the konis and ahmed springs of an S2 for GAZ and our spec springs - we shall see which is a better feel....

 

so what springs would you use on a S1 with standard shocks?

 

Standard ones, as the Ahmed springs are wound to suit the Koni damping rates.

 

This is true Mike, I had a set on my 500 with Konis and it kept the stance of the 3 Door, ie arse end up, instead of the Saph springs that get sold as 3 door springs that level the car out.

Which means when you boot it you scrape the tail pipe on the road.

So yeah.. I'm well sold on the Ahmed Koni Combo and will be going for it again very soon.

Is this something you can do Mike ?

If so how much for the lot ?

 

Prices are all on my website .

 

what about if i wanted to lower it? for road use?

 

This was my old sapphire (Now owned by Bud-Weis) sitting pretty on Konis and Ahmed Springs.

I was very pleased with it.....a very good compromise for fast road/track. Not too stiff (And didn't crash and bang over every bump in the road), but good enough for track days.

 

i drove the car for the first time with the new Ahmed springs yesterday...

first impressions are good.

car is higher than it looks in the pics...quite a nice stance

 

agreed,they are very good

certainly much better than the konis on my old car with standard springs lol

 

mines on konis with avo springs and had no probs at all very hard ride though
