CHEERS... dan

 

Wouldn't recommend them TBH. The front will be okay, but you will be putting all the sprung tension onto the rear shock top mounts and it is not uncommon for the mounting to break away from the shell with use if not reinforced.

Personally, I would only go 15-20mm drop as any more can make the ride uncomfortable, plus would look for something like Bilstein gas dampers with a reputable progressive-rate spring.

 

yeah there coil overs,stick with shocks and springs

 

no worrys looks like they are off my watched list then!!
thanks again..

 

so whats the best sping and shock kit to get? i want to lower it 40mm and have been told that the spax kit are good? what you recon ??

 

stay away from gaz coil overs m8 i have them in my car and would not recommend and also if you put coil overs in you need to go for a rear disc conversion

 

yeah am staying well away from them, but i have standerd suspension at the min and want to lower it 40mm.. a mate of mine has told me the SPAX kits are good or should i go for any of the other makes?

 

yes m8 go for spax they seem to be good my m8 has them in his cossie and he says there a great job

 

I've used SPAX in the past and they were very good, so were chassis dynamics(avo) springs and shocks.

What makes you say that ?

There is no connection whatsoever between running coilovers and needing a rear disc conversion

Spax are not in the same league as Koni... If you want decent dampers, then buy Koni, Bilstein, DeCarbon etc.. If you want budget crap, then buy avo/spax/gmax/other_german_brands_like_weitec

 

I'd personally put Koni's into that second list too pa_sjo

 

Just ordered full set of adjustable koni´s.
I can tell something in future.

 

konis are ok... i have it on my car..... that never been used, just sitting on the car...

 

have them in my car and i just dont like them my head was up my hole and i dont now why i said thst about the rear disc conversion
