Default Help needed coilovers for Rs2000 Mk5(any make not fussed)

Hi peeps

has anyone got a set of coilovers for an Rs2000 Mk5 please second hand to buy just for national day

bascially my cossie will not be on track on Sunday due to things which are out of my controll however I want to use the Rs2000 mk5 (last resort) but i have only got standard front suspension/springs , ill be using slicks and i know the front will dip badly and thats why I need a pair of coilovers for the front

i have the back end sorted

if some one can help me i would be very greatfull
i will collect them either tonight or tomorrow night time is running out for me rapidly



cheers marco

Hi Tony

thanks for the offer but i couldn't even tell you how wide the hub is inside

i'll try and get some if i can, then if not i'll just take a chance

i know i'm wasting my time putting a lowered uprated springs on a standard shock

cheers marco

was it that bad Marco on the motorway again.

thankyou for supplying the slicks.

just get the AP's on and if the arches bend....they bend!

soon flare them out so they won't rub.

see you sunday.

Hi Paul


he might but they would have to be for a Rs2000 mk5 (not cossie) as i think the hubs are totaly different if i was to get a set billys of an escort cos or a sierra i would have to machine down the boddies to make fit the hub and i haven't realy got time for that tobe honest


I have took a pic of the front end look at this
