K-Tec Coilovers

[Matthew]

Hi guys, just booked myself into NW Performance to get a set of K-Tec coilovers fitted this week.

Anyone got any pics of their 182 on these?

Cheers..

I had K-tec coilovers fitted by NW performance on Saturday, really impressed with them so far and service over there is second to none!

 

[Matthew]

Yeah I was, but I thought ah bugger it I keep it and throw aot of money at it...

lol

 

[CountryBumpkin.]

but i can vouch for these. there really good quality.

[Matthew]

Saw this in the flesh tonight and it sits brilliant

 

[jenic]

You going for the solid top mounts too?

Anyone who has, what are your opinions?

 

[DB.]

What is the quality like on these?

I was considering buying these or Vmaxx, have budget of around £500 in a few months.

How would the handling compare to standard?

 

[Da]

Mine are on here as said.

I'll have a look...

How do they compare to standard Da...

Ive heard it often has a negative effect on the handling of the cup packed 182s. Looks better though.

 

[Da]

Well it depends on whether you have them set up Dave. I know some people don't but I spent £100+ on getting them fully aligned and they're spot on now - can't fault them.

A rubbish couple of pics, but the general idea..

I'll have a look for more.

 

[Da]

Another couple...

 

[wallis_172]

^^^^^^^
Da is that as low as they will go? or can they be wound down abit more on the front/back?

 

[cliobritt]

you can cover 99% of the tire!

 

[cliobritt]

stil playing with the heigh on mine, but seem good.

 

[Da]

They will go much lower, undriveably (sp) low.
Back is almost fully down.

I wanted the nose down stance though, with little to no front arch rubbing.

 

[Matthew]

That looks spot one mate, I'm getting them done at NW Performance, just waiting for K-tec to get them back in stock.

Oh and cant afford the top mounts yet, so not bothering, for now anyway...

 

[The Boosh!]

I'm sick of people saying that these are " onli if u wanner lowers ur car man sick"(in other threads) they really are really good. If they had a 1k price tag people would be raving about them.

Morons.

Might aswell get the mounts at the same time for the discount tbh.

 

[Matthew]

Ok, you pop down to mine and lend me the money Jenic lol :rasp:

I would if i could lol

I am considering getting the coilovers and top mounts from NWP soon, bargain fitting price even when you add on petrol there and back.

 

[Matthew]

Yeah just over £400 for the coilovers, fitting, set up/tracking etc.

Bargain.

s**t thats good and very tempting! I am prob going to have to replace 2 shocks for MOT anyway and was thinking of just doing all 4 together!

Whats the ride like compared to normal oe set up?

 

[g.simmons]

I know its not a 182 but you'll get the idea.

I love them!

 

[Matthew]

Thats low enough for me, any lower would be silly in my opinion..

 

[pritchard182]

North West Performance mate.

Bit of a trek for us Yorkshire lads, but well worth it apparently...

I made that trek, but it is well worth it!

 

[Tigger]

They all look great
Any issues fitting them or just a straight swap?

 

[Cal182]

Daz where did you get yours fitted?

Chip on shoulder much? I'd imagine if that were true, ktec would sell them for more. I know I would. I'm not saying they're poor, we all know the vmaxx are good for a similar price.

 

[jonesy172]
