Chris' Non Sport Mk 2

[Dolan]

I've up graded them to fk silverlines is it worth the extra money? Is the ride quality different ??

 

[Jon.G]

I can only comment on the Silverline X's that I had, full damping ajustment and Koni dampers at the rear. Don't know whats different about the Silverlines.

As you know, I really rated mine, they were fantastic.

Edit, yeah you can always come mine and we'll do it. I have most tools.

Yeah what was ur ride like? Did any one complain that it's too hard , well I am hoping to pic them up monday if they can find them lol which is worrying I'll find more Monday anyways.
I bought the coils 18th of July lol

 

[Jon.G]

Not really, no. People commented on it and said it was stiff, but that's what you're bound to get. The adjustments mine had made it much better, for the daily commute I'd usually leave them on full soft at the rear and half a turn from soft on the front.

I might be able mix and match my dampers on mine see size differences

 

[Jon.G]

Yeah, good point. I'd be inclined to put the full set of coilovers on though, just because they're new, and probably matched to each other.

Fair point and I'll sell this kit.

 

[Dolan]

Iv just set me dampers to the hardest see what it's like it might be close to the coils

 

[Jon.G]

You'd be surprised how 'hard' they actually are.

The Trophy has very very similar ride characteristics of my Silverline X's. However, when up to speed and cornering the two are very different.

Trophy provides more progressive roll for grip whilst smoothing out a lot of the bumps due to the fantastic dampening system in place.

The 1.2 was so chuckable it was mental, you could go flat out round most corners and would never loose grip or have a moment (probably due to the lack of power ) when on the rough stuff it did scrub etc but thats because I had it fairly low.

It is really hard now handles better too
Can't wait till my Coilovers to come now

 

[welshname]

Very nice. Coilovers are good fun, they can be stiff but it's something you've got to do and go low on at least 1 car in your life.

Best and worst thing about my car tbh LOL!

 

[dubby]

Just got some vmaxx coilys myself and waiting to get them on, cant wait to see yours on the coilys mate!

Handles better harder quicker response to.

[dubby]

Hopefully this week somewhen, but maybe week after because I've got some time off then, time to be low and slow

 

[iOllieSM]

Good looking car this will look even better lowered! I also have some V-Maxx coilovers and they do the job perfect for me. Ride is quite hard but it's improved since I raised it a little. Anyway, gonna keep an eye on this

Anyone recommend where to buy fk Coilovers from??

 

[welshname]

That's who's been messing me about since July

 

[Dolan]

Coilovers back on track 2-3 days

 

[Jon.G]

Where did you get them from in the end?

 

[Dolan]

Euro performance

 

[Dolan]

Where did you get them from in the end?

U still okay to give me a lift with them?

 

[Jon.G]

Yeah that's fine mate.

 

[welshname]

If you need a hand Jon drop me a text.

 

[welshname]

f**king double post

 

[Jon.G]

Will do. You can always come over and do nothing?

It'll be a weekend anyway, so I'm sure you'll be free.

 

[Dolan]

Thanks Jon
You should just come anyway. Extra pair of hand don't kill anybody
I would try it myself I just don't wanna f**k it up and I know Jon knows his stuff lol

 

[welshname]

Trust me, this extra pair of hands can kill anything.

Yeah I probably will pop round Jon, let me know when you're planning on doing it. Might be wise to steal Ed's gazebo.

 

[welshname]

Also remember to get the top mounts buzz gunned off front and rear then tightened up by hand. Otherwise we're screwed.

Don't think it will fit on my drive, besides I won't be working in the rain anyway. My allergies will go mental.

True story. I've got a 21mm swan neck spanner anyway. But might as well just get a garage to crack them. They've been off at some point because he's running Koni's ATM.

We'll sort out when's best to do it when he gets them anyway!

 

[Dolan]

I got a estimate email of the 1st which is Monday but he said it could be with you friday.

Anywhere will do what will I need??
I can lend 2 axel stands from work and a jack. I don't have any spanners I have a socket set that's it lol

 

[Dolan]

Has any had this happen?? Only on the new one I bought is it coz it might of been on a mk2 ph1
