Coilover group buy

Post by duffman502 »

Hi Im looking into a group buy of coilovers would anyone be interested and what setup would people prefer .
I was looking at the weitec set up DPM are selling them at £390 with free delivery but i can research other makes like vmax and kw depending on what the majority want.

hopefully just in time for christmas so if enough people are interested ill see how much i can get off.

See what you can do mate, i'm after some but depends on price.

As far as setup goes -
. I'd want to retain a half decent ride.
. I'd want mine to last, not be riddled with corrosion after 5mins (so maybe stainless finish). Have just been reading this on KW site and makes me question galvinised one's ... :| http://www.kw-suspension.co.uk/salt-spray-test.htm
Maybe someone can offer some advice??


. I've heard good things about the Weitec's (not heard how they weather over time- as are galvinised).
. KW's sound good (aren't they basically supposed to be better Weitech's??)
. Think quite a few have gone Eibach pro-street. I've not heard any horror stories.

. Aren't the vmax cheap s*** ones, or am i thinking of something else? :oops:

I would be in for this if the price is right?? also want a resonably good ride but dont mind the harsher ride for better handling.
I wouldn't want to get Vmaxx ones as i always thought they were cheap crappy ones, GTi_dan you are right IMO
Weitec's would be a possibility - Have you considered the AP coilies?? made in the same warehouse as KW coilovers i think.

Worth asking the 9N sub-forum as well, and the Ibiza/Fabia sub-forum.

I'm very happy with my KW v1s BTW, no corrosion but I have got a cracked dirt cover. Good ride and worth the money.
