I'm looking to upgrade my Koni + Cooksport combo. Its a brilliant all round setup so I'm a very wary of replacing them and then not like the ride on the road.
I could do with some height adjustment now as I've taken a lot of weight out of the front of the car so it sits quite high.
If I was...
I think the Avo are non coilover rear. Also I'm not sure if they're available with 60mm spacing, same with the BCs.
Gaz are non coilover rear.
The H&R and Bilstein lack damping adjustment.
Wouldn't touch the Spax or Ktec's rebranded price hiked Spax.
That leaves AST!
I've had Gaz before. They did the job, and did it well for the money. Not much else out there for the same money with height and damping adjustment that work well unless you can get a cheap set of FK Konigsports or similar.
My only qualm with the Gaz was the corrosion protection may as well...
Cheers guys, well my wife had got me a voucher for Javelin so I used it to book Anglesey on the 16th.
It'll be nice to get out on track again, just over a week to go! :race:
I'd just get it on some decent suspension to start with, renew any bushes and steering bits. Then see about ITBs if you want an extra 25bhp or so. I'd expect you to make around 210bhp with the current spec and ITBs
Subframe needs attention ;)
Once you get the head back and bolt all the bits on it'll just need a remap won't it and then it should be ready for summer?
The lightest pro race wheel is 73.1mm centre, 5 stud offset of ET45 and plain black. They're 6.2kg. I've got one less stud, an extra 10mm offset and they're silver so extra paint of top of the black.
I'm tempted to get some slicks on the Hockenheims...or maybe some cheap Rainsport 3 for road...
If you have book figures they vary on offset, centre bore, number of studs and even the colour!
I used calibrated scales so I'd question other figures rather than my own.
tbf both graphs look good! One would give you more midrange due to the way its setup. For an inexpensive and effective road car setup that would be a great choice. The more linear one would be better on track and the one I'd go for because I prefer a linear curve.
You could do that with either...
This is how it sits on the existing Pro Race 1.2s.
I've only had them 6 months and a friend has these hockenheims spare. Always had a soft spot for them.
What are your opinions? Might look better 'shopped properly with the same wheels front and back with tyres but my MS Paint skills don't...
It's ok, I see what you mean :)
It was astounding that on the road it felt more compliant but on track there was noticbly less roll. Of course being able to tweak the damping helps with that.
I suppose if you consider the cost of Cooksports + Konis you could get Konigsport coilovers for the...
