[Saxo_theedge]

not really, cos you use uprated dampers with your standard struts as a coilover conversion.

for 75 quid, you cant go wrong

[kokakid411]

Going to use my uprated shocks that I have on the car!

[Daniel09]

still cheap tho :P

[Steve]

what springs are on them?

[kokakid411]

the springs that came with the kit the guy i bought them off had i guess!
are they any good then or are they cheap things that i should discard?

[Steve]

they look like the cheapo raceland ones.

[kokakid411]

so not worth fitting?

[Krys_23]

My new car came on coilies, Handles well but the ride is solid.

[AlexB]

There the raceland/jamex/gmaxx ect ones

and I'm afraid to say you just wasted 75 quid
they are the most shockingly bad suspension component I have ever seen/touched/owned

[kokakid411]

Tbh I should have looked more into it before buying!
Why do u rate them so badly?

[AlexB]

There very softly sprung for how low they go and a lot of the time require te bumpstop shortening/removing so you end up banging metal on metal
in your suspension and being as there just bottoming out you get vary bad ride quality

[kokakid411]

Ok is there a solution to that problem?

[Steve]

buy real man coilovers.

Which are not cheap!

[kokakid411]

Weet glad it was only £75 not hundreds

[steviee90]

buy cheap..... buy twice :y:

[AlexB]

Ok is there a solution to that problem?


Buy harder springs
which will then require updated dampers and the only proper ones that will work are pugsports which ain't cheap n all of a sudden your 75 quid bargain has cost 300 and you still are only about 80mm down

why would you want to go any lower than 80mm?

[AlexB]

why would you want to go any lower than 80mm?
