Purchased a 106 the other day as a daily drive project to do up and the previous owner kindly gave me a set of coilovers thrown in with the price. Just not sure what make they are, they look like v-max everything he gave me is included in the photo so i believe its missing some parts. Any help on what coilovers they are and what pieces are missing would be a great help. I dont think i will use them will most prob try and sell them to be honest. Thanks

Deffinetly look like the cheap shitty style that everybody hates :) lol
There is a way to make them usable though, Theres a guide on here somewhere on how to do it. If you have a search you should find it easy enough. :y:

what parts are missing in order for these to be complete? think they are v-max, which have had shocking reviews.

one top bearing seat and the top coil off the springs looks to be missing

definatly the raceland vmaxx ect bullshit ones
might aswell bin them if they were free there shite on a car (trust me i actually used them unlike a lot who just jump on the hype) i payed 15 quid for them in about the state yours are but with the pans and full springs

just to note aswell when the springs get cut the pan diameter needed changes so if you do decide to use them youll likely need something like the pugsport 3" pans not the standard 2.5" ones

Did not realise they had been cut, have not a clue when it comes to coilovers. Knew they were a shitty brand though just wanted to know for sure. Might just see if anybody wants them offers wise as spares but doubt they will. Not even sure of the condition of them as previous owner said he did not use them. Thanks for help anyway matey.
