[R20 CWH]

[Fred@BTM]

awesome mate! £700 is cheap for suspension

 

[Teds]

I would be up for a set for that price..!

If thats an option.

 

[R20 CWH]

downsides, VAT on top of that and not fitted.

Hmm ponder ponder.

 

[R20 CWH]

[R20 CWH]

awesome mate! £700 is cheap for suspension

[Fred@BTM]

PMSL! Perfect example of why you shouldn't listen to Fred's opinion. He know's feck all!

He has stated that he wouldn't recommend non TUV approved coilovers.

The Bilstein B14 are not TUV approved. Also they are only height adjustable, damping is fixed, so they are not as good as the Leda's which are. The B16's are, but they don't make a set for the clio.

If you are spending £700, I would use the tried and tested H&R's, which use Bilstein dampers anyway.

Without starting a huuuuuuuuuuge arguement coilovers having damping adjustment does not make them superior to those without. I draw the forums attention to the case of Gaz Vs H&R.. I rest my case your honour, lol

 

[Teds]

I think you will find all Bilstein kits are TUV approved. Also TUV approval is given with respect to use. E.g Correct ride height running.

LOL, we wouldn't want to do that now would we.

Also, Ted's thanks for that, the first website I checked them on said they weren't, but subsequent one's say they are.

Bloody web.

R20 CWH, buy them and try them!

 

[R20 CWH]

hmm i am tempted, just shelled out on a second bus, but would love to just go for it.

 

[Fred@BTM]

Oi Irish boy! back in your hole! Bilstein ARE TUV approved, and as Loony says just because LOOSER's are damping adjustable doesn't make them better

Which Bilstein dampers do the H&R use? Are they adjustable damping?
