coil overs

[ibizadoyle]

hi guyz!!

first thread for me!!

i found janspeed coilovers for the 1.9 pd130 but they were only £259

is this because they are **** or the genuine price??

 

[volvic]

post up the link, maybe they thought it would be in demand when they produced them, but actually couldnt shift them?

seems all legit like wouldnt mind gettin myself sum of them if they decent

 

[volvic]

hope im not pissing on your fire, but it states:

"Price per Unit (piece): £299.99 (including 17.5 % tax)"

to me that says £300 x 4 = £1200

if it is £300 for the set, go for it, just remember to take humps carefully as the sump is very close to the ground!

 

[ibizadoyle]

il give em a ring then just fort mayby unit ould mean the whole thing like you know "one whole unit"

how low could i go before the sump was a problem?

 

[Ultra_Joel88]

about 40-50mm

a unit is the 4 coilovers. you can get cheaper on ebay and they are the exact same coilovers.

Be carefull with cheap shocks. I have the hottuning ones on my mazda mx5 and they are great, firm but great. however the car doesn't get driven much. I have the hottuning ones on my Leon TDi and they have been a nightmare! I have gone through 4 sets of front shocks. They keep breaking. Seems they aren't built to do lots of miles over bumpy roads. To be fare they were all replaced under guarantee but i have had to pay to have the new ones fitted each time. I am now looking into replacing the hole lot for better quality shocks, like wietec or kw. I would recommend the cheap ones if you dont do many miles, but if you do lots of miles over pot hole ridden roads then i would spend more on quality shocks.

 

[ibizadoyle]

ok well how much we talking??

i aint gt much doh so cnt be spending like a grand!

around 3-400 would be a good price

Have you also thought about the Weitec kits, a bit more but a really good kit!
