Been offered coilovers for my saph 4x4,currently got koni's and bayjoo springs which tbh i'm quite happy with,would the coilovers be a good buy ?won't be doing track days just fast road .

 

Better off with the koni set-up than budget coilovers

 

Think they were gaz ones rich,deffo no benefit then ?

 

tracknight at knockhill tonight,get it up there! setup you have is fine for the road.

 

What time ? Am at a loose end tonight

 

there is the £500 gaz coilovers which are the budget version or there is the £1100 decent setup. How much were you offered them for?

I had a convo with Mike R and he also said that he would prefer the knoi set-up to a budget coilover set-up.

 

People sem to knee jerk into coilovers beleiving they are getting something super when they simply are not. I know a couple of people that have sold Koni's to go coilovers then taken them back off and purchased another set of Koni's

 

so the decent coilovers are still from Gaz but are their 1100 version then?

 

yes Gaz do a cheap and expensive version. OR they did 2 years ago when i was hunting for suspension set-ups mate

 

5-7 or 6-8 i'm not 100% sure .

get it out on track tonight,you cant have 373bhp and not want to get it out on track.(its quiet on tracknights not like the sundays at all).

dont know if you have been on track before but if you go on you will be hooked!

 

Think they were the 500 quid ones

It's more than 373 bhp now,might come for a nosy.

 

Gaz's budget set-up isn't very good at all, their higher quality kits are called the Goldline kit IIRC, don't know what the difference is really though!

Kev, deffo stick with Koni's and Ahmeds mate, mine are just about ready to go on the car!

 

How much more, what turbo and why?

 

You'll spoil a nice road car putting Coilovers on Kev.

 

ive got gaz on mine the rear springs had to be changed were way to hard apart from that feels good on the road best handling cos ive had. although i havnt had one with bayjoo springs yet

 

so for track use is coilovers better then?

 

ive been on coilovers then gone back to konis, the coilovers are just to hard for the road fair enough if you wanna do track days but they were too much for normal driving, and it tramped like crazy!!!!

 

More boost dan,must try to get you on msn m8.

Cheers paul.

 

mine tramped too until i put softer rear springs on.

 

was gonna go down that route but i wasnt ever gonna use it on track so i opted for the konis again

 

im just in the process of putting konis and ahmed springs on my 3dr seems the way to go from what i was told

 

I wondered how long it would be before you came on about the coilovers!

Yes mate, it's been a while You still on Grey's or Blacks now Kev, and what boost you peaking/holding now?

 

Peaking 32 holding 28 on blacks dan.

 

What he said. All the budget coil-overs have fixed bump .

 

Will spend the money elsewhere now then,anyone selling carbon fibre ??

 

Not the budget ones.

 

bloody great i go a set of avo adjustables and gaz coilovers by the sounds of it there both crap lol

 

Nice, what power you estimate?

 

Speak to Tabs, he will tell you they are great though, so that should make you feel better .

 

Don't know dan,booking it into MSD in october then going back to rollers to compare.

 

All good then mate
