I wonder what a full standard setup does cost?
basically im just saying the way you put it across is your right im wrong when personally i think its one of those things you cant be right or wrong.
just look at it this way say if a f1 driver or some one of that calibar done a test on both set ups and said the cheap coilovers was better would that make you wrong..

WHAT,I'm never wrong.
acturley did lol.
not a big fan, had a number of customers share the opinion that they're too stiff for standard shocks

You are wrong yes.
Danny has just shown you need to spend at least £600 for decent suspension setup, coilovers or not.
Clarkson done a test in a 182 and said it was one of the greatest handling FWD cars ever, I'm sure he'd say adding cheap coilovers wouldn't help.
really... he hasen't he's just showed what the prices are just because they cost £600 doesn't mean anything.

Can get a set of coilovers for about £250 you know, fully adjustable so they must be good.

I've got Ktec coilovers on, set up properly for fast road use, and to be blunt, there shite!
People are kidding themselves if they think there any better than standard...
Bilstein - £742 From motorsport world. Half tempted by the Spax for £653, but would like to hear some more about them.

are you refering to this quote dannyr?
because i dont see how dannny has 'just shown you need to spend at least £600 for decent suspension setup, coilovers or not.'

If you can grab a ride in someone's car that has them. I promise you will be impressed.
Those are standard shocks, showing that even the "standard" kit is worth more than some crappy £250 set of coilovers, do you really not get it?

Glad you said that, and not me.

How come?

Again my earlier point proven, you are normal and got what I meant. Saying that though, I had said several times standard was better than cheap!
Thanks for your honesty Daz
The standard cup setup is literally class (and aftermarket) leading in terms of soaking up bumps & providing a suitable amount of roll stiffness on a B road.
The only thing cheap coilovers are is hard. There is far more to suspension geometry than just having hard shocks. They are therefore s***e on the road compared to standard setup (which is optimised for the road by renaultsport at a no doubt significant R&D cost) and s***e on track.

No there not! Standard will be focused more towards handling as they need to make a car that handles well, and they did superbly well, which is why they are epic cars.
Cheap coilovers are made for chavs to get lowzzzz as said earlier, not focused towards handling. This is why they are so cheap, no development cost.

I would be accused of being opinionated, or stating facts on things I know nothing about.

Very true!
ok i see what your saying dannyr fair enough, but in my case i found the k-tec coilover to improve the handling due to reduced body roll leading to more confidents to go quicker which makes me think that the handling has improved. surly you or anyone else cant say 'your wrong' to me about that.

Your wrong.
There you go.
There you go.

Not a case of right and wrong its a fact cheap coilover's are far worse than the standard set up,I know its your opinion but quite frankly you have no idea what you are talking about.
