I wouldnt bother personally. I would go aftermarket.
Oh, and welcome to the forum.
I hope you were "born to race in a private runway or track and definately not HM Highway."
thank you.i thought about buying koni adjustable kit but their adjustment is so important in handling and its somehow difficult to make.then think of coilovers but they r very expensive.i think i m going to use prokits with stock dampers for sometime.maybe i should buy new tires like michelin pilot exalto2 for my purpose.yes of course private tracks.i just use first gear in town.
and second in highways
thx tom and edde.are the koni s a good choice.but adjusting them for optimum handling is though i think.does the front and rear settings must be equal in stiffness when i want to make an adjustment??
thx u phoenixy.i asked for h&r coilovers,they told me that it will be better than stock as in handling and comfort?? i couldnt believe them.price is £750 for h&r coilovers.
theres a post in the for sale section somewhere about FK coilovers
theres a number on there you can ring and get them for about £400
have you tried http://www.motorsportworld.co.ukwww.motorsportworld.co.uk for H&R?
thank u all guys.i ll use the prokit with stocks for sometime.if im not satisfied i ll go for hr coilovers
172 cup dampers are the same as the norm 172, its just the springs that are slightly stiffer.
For road use only, stock dampers and Eibach sportlines or prolines is very good. For track you need shocks and spring upgraded, coilovers are prob better if you want to fine tune your ride hight.
EVOgone.thank you for your reply.i want to buy coilover as soon as i have the money.but which one is better i couldnt decided yet.H&R is fine i thought but how about KWs.KW have 3 types of coilover kit.i like the variant 1.variant 2 is better of course and variant 3 is like a dream come true but needed to be adjusted for high and slow speed driving and perhaps i need to rob a bank for afford these kits. i wonder if someone using KW variant1 coilovers in this forum.
MERCEDES CLS AMG
The shockers are the same front and rear - its the springs that are different. They can easily be swapped over. What you need is someone that has lowered there cup and buy there old springs of them
no thx evogone.i ve prokits and i think they r better than cup springs.isnt it?
