What Coilovers

[Stubbs1911]

Alright guys, i am going to be ordering some coilovers for my ibiza 1.4 sport, any suggestions and recomendations as to which I should get???

 

[Damoegan]

Depends what your budget is mate.

I've got V-Maxx on my cupra and cant complain about them. AP coilovers are very populare too.

search it mate, these many threads about what coilovers are out there

i have weitec and they are really comfy and not crashy bangy. but as said there is loads of threads about this out there

i heard alot of good comments about kw coilovers variant one for 700 pound was thinking of getting them myself

 

[st10587]

iirc weited and kw are made in the same factory, its just the KW has the stainless body and the weitec dont. either way i dont care mine were £50

 

[Darzy18]

you paid 50 for your coilovers thats mad any more going for that price lol

 

[Darzy18]

how much would they cost brand new and how much do they drop your car

 

[SHADY-NINJA]

ive got weitec coilovers and i dont regret it

they were from a member on here, i had to fit his standard stuff back on to get them cheap

how much would they cost brand new and how much do they drop your car

i have dropped mine i think around 60-65mm and they can still go alot lower on the front and if you take the adjuster cups out of the rear about another 15mm. check out my readers ride thread for piccys!!

im not sure how much they are new but look on venoms website as they are normally really good on prices.

I've been looking at getting spax, but i ain't read any comments about them yet!?

They're 575 ish on venom. With damper adjustment, stainless steel bodies and TUV certified.

a take it you mean these?

[robepton]

Yeah there the ones. I adjust my statement; they've got stainless steel collars not bodies.

They seem like bloody good value to me.

 

[DamianPM]

V-Maxx and Weitec are both good choices...

I would look into stainless ones after seeing some pics of how the non stainless have held up over the winter with all the road salt.

Also sounds like you have to be able to assemble and disassemble them yourself so you can take them apart 12 times a year to clean them even if you do pay £400 Totally put me off for the time being so spending money on other things.

i am guessing the AP's are stainless :S
