hi all, have decided to give my escos a bit of a change and 1 of the things is lowering, but am unsure which to go for, is it worth going for coilovers or just stick with normal konis etc, would like alloys to sit inside arch's how low would i have to go am running 18in rondells

cheers

 

depends oon these things

1.do youu want a bumpy ride?
2.do you want to be constantly cleaning coil overs as they get rusty as fk
3.how much you looking too spend because good coil overs are £850 upwards

i have konni's and eibach springs very comfy and easy to clean as i was going to go coil overs but rubbered it as they get rusty as fk

koni's and ahamed bajoo springs are really good avalible from Mike Rainbird RnB motorsport

 

and remember lowering these cars doesn't improve the handling

 

lol, you just cake them in grease when u fit them and then re apply every now and again lol, or do what i did and just spray them with a rattle can silver, then when u want to sell them wipe it all off with thinners and they look brand new.

i have koni's and eibach springs on the p100 and although its the same running gear, the back end obviously will act differently to an escos, it does handle well and doesn't knock your teeth out (y)

 

i have koni's and ahmed bajoo springs which handle good, and the ride is good also.

 

As above, koni's and ahmed springs is meant to be the best setup. I have konis and unknown springs and i love the handling and the stance is awesome.

 

I went for the Koni & ahmed setup on mine, very pleased with it.

 

cheers people looks like koni's the winner

 

What size are the wheels you're using?

If they're 18"x8.5" you'll need to adjust the spring cup seat (From previous experience).

 

off top of my head not sure know its 18 but will have to check if 8.5 cheers for the heads up

 

No probs, nothing a BIG hammer won't fix.
