Cheapest place for Coilovers/Opinions

[capturedbyjames]

Morning all,

Where's the cheapest place to get coilovers from? K-tec seem a little steep. Dont really want to spend more than £550... So have ruled out H&Rs. Thinking of going for FKs with damper adjustment.

Cheers.

FK's like to seize up in my experience.

Not all though just cheap ones..I would get a few more opinions first

 

[capturedbyjames]

Yeah - was just looking at rimstyle - great prices. Probably going to push the boat out and get the silverlines for £605 delivered! Bargain!

 

[xcore]

check out the ktec offers section, afew in tehre that are quite cheap

 

[pinky]

Think you can grease them up..stops them sticking..but you will probably
find they you wont adjust them much in anycase..unless you do track.

 

[xcore]

Just lube them up alot

europerformance do them for £562.02 (inc VAT) even more of a bargain :approve:

 

[tom_dot_COM]

They also do Konig sports for £595 and SilverlineX for £661, what are the differences between these?

 

[capturedbyjames]

Just looked, they do them from £562.. for the 172 though, they are £660ish...

 

[capturedbyjames]

Ignore that then...

They are the stainless versions of the highsports and konigwhatsits.

I'm looking at the Silverline X's

 

[Chris2007]

is there any coilovers that will fit a 1.2 and a 172 lol bcuz i would get coilovers if i know that they will fit my 172 when i get it

 

[tom_dot_COM]

its just a quality difference then with the X's?
are the konigs and Xs BOTH height adjustable both front and rear?
or is it just the fronts?

 

[capturedbyjames]

Silverline X's are just stainless versions of the Konigs. Therefore are identicle in how they work - just the materials are different.

Therefore - yes, height adjustable at front and back.

 

[Baz-ESD]

are highsports adjustable front and rear?

I'd pay a bit extra and go for some H&R's.... well thats what i'd buy anyway.

 

[buxz777]

could some1 provide a direct link to the page of coilovers for the 172 exclusive

thanks every1

just been on rimstyle they have 100 pound of the spax coilys are these any good??

where is the cheapest place to buy these? an ebay shop used to for just over 600 iirc but they don't seem to anymore.
Ktec charge close to 900, which is a massive differnece from 600.

Anyone know the cheapest place?

Nope simple answer coilovers springs and hub spacing are different.

H and R's are about £750 if you shop round and worth it.

Nope.

 

[tom_dot_COM]

Where can they be bought for £750?
Think I'd go for them at that price

 

[cK]

I'd definately consider going for the H&R's over the fk's. I've had fk silverlines before and i've had leda suspension. I've been out in cars with H&R's and they are a quality setup for the money. The fk's are very hard, even with the dampening set at soft.

I'd save and pay the extra if it were my money.

 

[capturedbyjames]

Crap - i've just ordered them as well...

 

[tom_dot_COM]

mrmahoosive youll have to tell me what your FKs are like when you get them. H & Rs are just so much money and noone seems to know where you can get them for under 850

 

[capturedbyjames]

They were due today, to be fitted over the weekend. But they are stuck in Germany, still being made... Should be on next weekend!

 

[Kneel]

I had FKs on my 1.2 from 2modified and I though they were really comfy lol, shows what suspension I'm used too if other people think they are hard...
