new Supesion boys

I've noticed one of my shocks is leaking, so am gona replace them all will a aftermarket spring/damper set up. cant stretch to coilovers. any one got any recomendations for a decent kit?????

 

[graffacake]

i have apex springs with standard shocks on mine, fairly stiff ride but corners very well.
not that recomended tho as it can eat shocks, although in the last year and a half ive only ever had to replace 1

whats you're budet, that would determine what you can get.

up to £100 just springs, perhaps some eibach -50mm ones
up to £180 spring and shocks set up, possibly not the best brand but still.
upwards - £+ anything from a decent spring and cup set up to fully adjustable dampning and ride height coilovers..

People favour the Phil Jackson Tuning coilovers for £200 on club polo, me included.

You can get the PJT shocks and springs 60/40 set up for £130 iirc.

What is the best drop for handling on the mk2?

Weitec spring and dampers are supposed to be good.

 

[camt149]

i can stretch to about £250, would i be better going for cheap coilovers or a decent spring damper set up. i'd preffer handling to looks though

 

[F2 Ed]

A decent spring and damper setup is much better than a cheap coilover setup.

I wouldn't look at coilovers unless i had £500 to play with

because you drive a corsa

classic

p.s. if you can't afford coilovers then you might be able to afford second hand ones. My £550 GAZ coilovers set only set me back £110 because I've got them second hand form Ebay and I've had them for over a year now with no probs.

The corsa is only on spax springs

The point of building the corsa was for 1/4 mile, not track use so there was no point spending money on suspension.

thanks i'll check out flee bay for a few bargains

I've got the Phil Jackson coilovers on my girlfriends ibiza they seem very good for the money as good as my old avo's i had on my rover only they dont have damping adjustment and they are very hard in my opinion but i'm used to it now, handles very well thou.

Be prepaired to wait, I've been looking for ages for a second time!

For £250 go for the Weitec setup in my opinion, know a few people who've had them on Golf's and can't fault them!

Thewre's a fell on Edition 38 who supply's & know's his stuff, his name on there is Mk1dubzter very helpful!

Unless it's running a C20LET or TB'd C20XE that's the dumbest comment of the day :

Don't mean to thread jack, but has anyone got any reviews or thoughts on TA-Technix coilies ?

Planning on restoring my mk2 so on a kinda budget due to level of work needed

This is what I would consider too as have heard plenty good about them.

If you look in the for sale section there's a red mark 2 for sale with TA's on, give the fella a PM ask what he thinks!
