hi there im looking at buying some coilovers but im not to sure what maufacturer to go with, could anybody suggest any good coilovers priced about 300-400 pound.

cheers tim

Give Mertsham_Phil a PM. He sells a coilover kit for the 6n2 for £280 by Evo. He also sells other coilover kits, such as KW, H&R and FK. He's a good bloke, and sorted me out with a suspension kit for my car. If you're signed into CP, it'll be easier to do it that way, since he's probably on there more than here, I guess.

If you don't fancy those, there's more expensive options, but you'd have to shell out more money.

ok then cheers for that

No, no, and no to the third post as well

Basically coilovers are height adjustable so if you find there are clearance isues, just raise them up a bit until they don't rub or catch

oops !

so can you adjust them yourself with no prob?

AFAIK simply jack the car, take the wheel off, and adjust the thread. I don;t own coilovers myself but I've done a lot of reading

sometimes u don't even need to take the wheel off!! (i will have to tho)
with mine its a case of loosening a sorta clamp and then winding the top half of the clamp up or down and then when ur ready, just resecure the botoom bit of the clamp!!!
i didn't think it was that easy uintil i saw it done!!
ps- i've got FK Konigsports with adjustable damping

on 16's you can drop about -60mm without any rubbing.
Im at -75mm with a 45 profile tyre and i get abit of tyre scrubbage on the back but nothing thats wearing the tread down!
