Coilover adive/questions

[richy22]

I know this may well of been asked loads of times, but its easier to ask a question and have someone answer it then to search and answer my own question incorrectly!

Considering going in with the group buy on the V-maxx coilovers. Anyone with these fitted what's the ride like? At the moment I have sportlines (red ones??) springs on standard shocks and the ride is fairly hard but I still have a lot of body roll. Are the V-maxx a lot stiffer?

Im torn between getting the V-maxx or waiting and getting some FK Konigs aas they are fully adjustable (damper etc??)

Did a track day on Sunday (only RAF Marham) and I was following gregg who has FK's and his car was soo smooth through corners.. mine was wobbling about like f**k! (still good fun though )

Also im a little bit stumped as to whether these have adjustable camber?? And if addtional top mounts (AST ones) could be used on these?

You sure your on Sportlines? Seems quite low from Memory for them.

AST Topmounts can be used but they may need "Machining" to suit the type of coilover you buy.

Pretty sure it is they are Red ones. Im tying to not be my usual self and impulse buy something then not be happy with them after a couple of weeks

Vmaxx come supplied with adjustable camber bolts IIRC

For the Money I'd definitely give them a try.... If they fitted Cup Packed 182's I'd be tempted myself cos I think mine are feeling the effects of high miles

I'll be keeping an eye as to whether the second group buy suffers from rear damper issues before making my mind up really. Yes, there is a washer fix, but it would be nice to see no issues from the manufacturer.

I have GAZ that were 2nd hand and I've now had them on for 16 months and covered a fair few miles on crappy roads
