coilovers...

[curt]

Hey people i know this is a really noob question but i am really curious ... What are coilovers? what are the difference between coilovers and lowering kits..
Is this set any good ....http://www.toys4cars.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7831_1426_2814_3670&products_id=59125
Do you think this set comes with 4 dampers or just two for the front ??
thanks people :D

coilovers allow you to adjust the ride height without changing springs (although you can change springs for even shorter ones and a different stiffness).

pretty poor kit tbh, and its very unclear on the dampers though :S

humm i thanks for the reply .. could you suggest a coilover set for a 1.1 or a suspension set if thats not to much trouble . or are there any makes that i should stay clear from ?

no theyre not. Theyre dangerous.. Youd be better off cutting your springs down.

Good kit that is mate, you can get it ALOT cheaper though, you can get the next one up the PSX which is adjustable for under £200 at the moment in places.

Spax stuff is meant to be a more harsh ride than the Apex equivilants though ;)

hummm i just want my car to have a good stance ...but i think comfort would be nice too can any one send me a link to some good suspension kits that are in the £100 - £250 range plese because i really dont know the foggiest about suspension i specialise in body work lol

Cheers for the input people .. dont know what i would do with out sax-p :D

Look on the kamracing website at the Apex kit or the Spax VSX kit. Between them they offer 4 different lowering heights so pick whichever one you'd prefer

Both are good kits for the price and are under £250.

The Apex is better but you wont be disappointed by either

As they used to say on Blind Date- "The decision is yours"
