Which coilovers

[Foz]

Hi guys, picked myself up a 53 172 cup yesterday and already decided that it needs some coilovers, so just wondered if anyone could help me out?

Looking for some around the 500 price tag, although spending less would of course be a bonus. Must offer a really low ride, as I do like my cars slammed.

Who's best?

Thanks a lot, Rob.

GAZ coilys?? Not rated on here though. Thats why i bought myself some

Theres those vmax coilys in the group buy just now or i think FKs are around your price range

I'd save up a little bit more then go for H&R's.

I do not really want to shell out on the h+r's mate, although I am sure they are very good!

How low can the vmaxx and gaz ones drop the car? Thanks again

That was Fatboyslim's and Rosssei's from over here in NI - nicest LY I've ever seen :approve:
Apparently the GAZ setup on it was very harsh to the old spine though

V-Maxx are really good, up to 70mm drop, plus excellent damping, really good quality for the money, got mine last week, £400 including VAT.

^They probably mean the 182 Cup - different fitment.

how have you set them up?? And how low is the car?? Im having mine fitted on friday and want them LOW but not harsh

 

[Tom84]

well i did the tracking etc at work, it is quite low but not too harsh, was just a bit of trial and error setting the shockers up as to what felt right, took me a while but now im very happy.
my fronts are 1 1/2turns off hard and the rears 10 clicks off full soft
