Coilovers

[mckenzie]

Recommend me some what have you got? I dont want to spend in excess of 360 unless I have to but I dont want to buy any naff ones. What do you lot recommend?

You can get a set of Weitec Coilovers for £318.09 from Demon Tweeks and that price will probably be the same from the likes of Venom Motorsport. A set of AP coilovers will set you back £365.79 for the set and those are the two brands I would recommend based on your budget.

You can get lesser brands on Ebay for £200.00 but you get what you pay for at the end of the day. I am going to be getting a set of AP's soon and that is the brand I would recommend.

Sounds pretty cheap to me... what are the quality of them really like? Im just curious...Do they have adjustable spring seat and damping?


In comparison an entry set of AVO coilovers for the TVR are £598....If you want a set of nice shiny Eibach ones.... its over a grand

Well the AP Coilovers are supposed to be the budget alternative to KW coilovers.

I cant comment really on how they perform because I havent got a set yet but judging from what other people say they are good quality coilovers for an affordable price. Depends what you intend to use the coilovers for really though, the majority of people want their car to be really low and handle well in corners and other people buy them for track days.

The Weitec variety for £318.09 are called Hicon GT which are height adjustable with fixed damping rates.
The damping rates are set for sport use (road)

The AP Coilovers are more or less of the same quality but some people say the AP coilies are more comfortable on the road and not as "bouncy".

Eibach are quality but expensive and designed for track use more than anything. if you want to go really low then get coilovers but if not uprated shocks and Eibach sportline springs will do the job with 16" rims!

I got those PhilJ Jackson tuning ones fitted on Sunday, gotta say for the money (£215 delivered) I'm very impressed.

I've pushed the car and it still sticks to the road - They're a bit low at the mo though so are a bit inpractical but still handles really well!

Which ones have you got and where from?

Thanks
