Full set of OHLINS coilovers full bump and rebound adjustable (via external oil cylinder) complete with helper spring and progressive springs 3" front springs 2.25 rears
These are fitted to sperical bearing top mounts.

Off a Recce car Grp A i beleive!...Rears should fit fine and it feels like you can go relatively soft on the these!...Fronts will be a little harder to fit but nowt a DIYer cant do

I beleive these coilovers are the daddy in suspension terms!....Be nice to choose whatever ride height i want

So from Proper WRC spec we're down to assumed Group A spec?

Trust me: even with soft springs they will be harsh for road use if they are proper group A items...

...well its a famous car apparently they cam off...maybe WRC but as i understand the recce car is not as trick....but still tricker than anything else on the road...as dont the recce car travel at near full pace to feel the stage out?

Ryan

what spec are they phil? tarmac? gravel?

Anonymous

Tarmac spec......may need to change the spring ratings...but i will see how it feels first

Hooligan

Recce cars are ussually a lot less trick....they are to scout the stage...you're not even supposed to go at racepace...

Group A is your best bet here but still if it is then it is proper kit
I've had Proflex group A shocks, stiffer than Mike in a gaybar!

...i think they the same as Sean B was gonna use when everyone went WOW OMG etc

Ryan

foooooooooooook me phil there going to be hard.

My tarmac front billies are stupidly hard, so i can only imagine yours being even worse

Hoologan...Rainbird said the recce car goes very fast

Phil ,
These are gpA parts , are yours this fitment ? I expect not , most Recce cars are road legal and use an uprated Std (commonly called GpN ) type of suspension , nothing wrong with that at all !

...cheers Tony for clearing that up...so from WRC to Grp A to Grp N spec


Got there in the end.......yeah i see now as these are a straight fit to an Escos..well bit of fettling needed!

Any idea what a set like this would cost new and whats a good price to pay???

As Ryan said..........

Phil, the WRC Ohlins/Proflex set ups are designed to cope with these sort of shock loads (pics below) so there gonna be VERY hard (even on the softest settings):

sell them and buy a new camera.

Mr Manky its a camera phone....not ment to be good


Doug i know the red part of the front shocks is something to do with jumps

Think that these would be suited more to an out and out track car Phil.

Ryan

If you don't know what your doing with them you will fukc up the handling of the car good style Phil.

Having 2 control variables makes the job 4 times harder to find a decent setting.

As for cost - well I would guess second hand (can only see 3) and 2 look like 40mm jobbies - under 2k

Ryan the red spring part is seperate and can tell you that it is for jumping....been told to take em out for normal use

All 4 are there mate,one is is the shed ......it aint a Relliant set up I payed what worked out to be 480.....now a set up of say spax normal was 350 plus...so thought these a good price ...i know the bloke said they would probably be new a grand a corner

Ryan

very good purchase then

Expect to pay at least that again if they need servicing or a strip and rebuild Good price though

It will run fine with the helper springs but just clatter about a bit taking off going over the speed bumps

Cam

Good buy plus if your not happy with them Phil you could get them revalved/rebuilt.
What brakes you going for?

el waffle

where you get them.
