lol my weekend country house lol lol lol

honest

claytarget_god · 19-05-2008, 17:14

cheers guys

your most helpfull,
they are still bit much but ill stretch if they are that good.

Reason i ask if they go higher is that I dont want the car to go down that much. I want to keep the poised look were as some lowering kits level the car out.

RichieVRS · 19-05-2008, 17:15

Was defo still poised m8 and you dont have to wind em right down. If you can wait and stretch m8 will defo be worth it. Like i said m8 saving for a set myself as we speak

hee hee hee

When i have a full car my arches catch, I got 8j R32 rims 225 40 zr18 on mine.

if I get these they wont rub will they?

mine are 225/30/20s i dont have a car full very often but it seems fine if i do and i got bit more carful ,but there is a handy humped road i test my ride heights on, and i can certainly do the national speed limit over it and i get nothing, i get a small buzz but thats if i um lol

try over a private hump
the good thing with any coilover is u can find the height you want that doesnt catch,
i will get mr farm to confirm the lack of scuffs when he is on mate

claytarget_god · 19-05-2008, 17:16

I couldnt beleive how cheep they were from new, for what you get.

I snapped the dealers hand off after gettin 1500 of extras in and a discount on top lol

RichieVRS · 19-05-2008, 17:20

matt@theforce · 19-05-2008, 19:33

I used to live in the same street as DaveH and he had the KW Variant1's on his 4x4 and he ran 18" RS4 alloys, it looked awesome and the ride was fine, we also lived about 1/4mile down a farm track and although it was lowered he ran it on the highest settings keeping the car level, he never caught the bottom of the sump and the suspension never failed in the 2 years he had the suspension fitted.

claytarget_god · 19-05-2008, 23:10

Ok

once again fellas thanks for the info.

I am going to go for:

WEITEC GT COILOVERS. £475
SUPERPRO, FRONT DOGBONE BUSH £ 16
FRONT AND BACK WISHBONE BUSHES £ 70
POWERFLEX, 2 PART REAR DOGBONE BUSH £ 23 inc p&p

what are ppls thoughts?

what needs to be done when fitting all this stuff?

how much do you think it is gonna cost to get it all fitted?

who can do it properly?

many thanks
billy

redbaron · 19-05-2008, 23:25

if you want to go fast get v3's and some proper light weight 17" rims

if you want to go slow but look good buy the cheap (****) weitecs and keep the heavy r32 wheels.. the weitecs will fail just like v1 and v2 do cos the koni inserts a poor which is the biggest reason to go v3.

you pays yer money..... etc.

claytarget_god · 20-05-2008, 13:08

cheers red

all I want is for the car to look bit neeter and corner better. The v3 are i would say a track application so I am not interested in that as I dont do it(yet)

I want something that firms the car up a bit but doesnt loos too much comfort.

and the Weitecs are the same as the KWv1 and ppl who have them say they are fine. I monstly do motorways so it is not too bad but I have a nice 45 mile stretch on way back to camp that is A road and good Fun

lol

Sounds like a much better option to me mate than just the coilovers on their own.

Once its all fitted it will need a realignment and tracking doing.
As for doing it? Depends on how far you want to go as i dont personally know anyone in your neck of the woods

Lloyd55vrs · 20-05-2008, 18:10

are you up for a drive to have it done? lol nip across the bridge then down to taunton lol lol simon a performance driven , awesome is manchester lol demon tweeks do KW, you could have a drive and get it done then a fun drive home lol

im sure you could get the folks on here to give a good list of guys they use

the place in taunton i use is good cos the city center is a nice walk away and can amuse for the time it takes to have you car made more fun lol
or he will even have you dropped in if it a poop day lol

Apart the quote above, I have never heard so much bol*ocks in all my life.

Listen to the voice of experience, get the 3's, get them set up by someone who knows how. I'll say it again, get them set up correctly, job done.

claytarget_god · 20-05-2008, 21:22

they cost too much tho

for what I want I cant justify over 1K for them
