i'm now leaning towards coilovers so which are the best without spending silly money??

james raby recommended Bilstein, how about GAZ or AVO? anyone else have any of these?

or do sime of you think springs & shocks still do the business? eibachs on Koni's etc??

all opinions help, cheers

 

I have no complaints at all with my Spax kit and firmly believe that coilovers are OTT on a car that is primarily used on the road.

Can't go wrong with Koni adjustable and good springs like Eibach

 

Depends on what you term silly money, but you get what you pay for unfortunatly, and that goes for reputation and life span too.

Jay at xfactor is doing a good deal on AVO's - but check what they are as they do several different types. Also find out if any mods are needed.

James has his head screwed on - but I am biased on Bilstein so will say no more.

Fronts Ł340 each (Or can be less if you dont need the pukka spherical top mounts) Rears Ł275 each

i have the same as james and tony


only got the front fitted so far thou as have now taken car off the road for a while










again

 

jeez,my car came with spax sportkit,but ive juss fitted 40mm drop g-max springs,there coming off coz its too low,

fitting 25mm springs instead,and 30mm on the back.

 

I run Gaz coilovers

Ride and handling is spot on

You can get a good deal on them in Burtons with some cash to wave under their nose

 

do you not need a collar on the rear with the gaz ones?


or are they a direct fit?

 

There is a collar but it's already on them so they fitted straight on

 

did you wear a shirt and tie when you bought them with a collar
