Coilover recomendatios for ph-1 172

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

Its going to be a track car, don't give a monkeys what it handles on our sack of piss roads here in the united Kingdom, just want it to be good on nice flat smooth tarmac.

Anyone got any? To be used with standard wheels.

Any ideas on cost (purchase and setting up?) I'll get my mechanic to fit them.

Moochas grassy ass.

Not all race tracks are flat, some tracks in the uk resemble uk roads. I'd go with billi's.

 

[TheJesus]

where you based Dan?

 

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

Bristol. Is the Metal cheaper down here??

 

[drhowser]

dan, i've got kw comps on mine, you can have a go in that if you want. i'm near malmesbury. they are definately meant for the track mind!

 

[TheJesus]

lol, dunno, could be?

just going to suggest you go for a test drive in the GDI demo car and see what you think of the setup on that one. Seems to be a big issue about spec etc etc, but everyone that's been out in it have pretty much bought a set lol

 

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

Whats the GDi car got then?

I was looking at the ones on Ktec but the price varies sooo much!
I'm only going to use the thing 3/4 times a year so can't justify spending £800 plus fitting plus setting up!

 

[drhowser]

^^ don't ask the price of them! i've just nearly fallen off my chair!

 

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

lol. how much then?

 

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

Dr doolittle, what have you got on yours?

 

[drhowser]

have a look at the "just ordered my coilovers" thread. and sit down!......

 

[drhowser]

kw's but they were £1300. so still a bit more than you are talking about.
well worth it though. if it came down to engine work or suspension, the coilovers would win every time.
and i work with animals, not talk to them. lol

well as you stated Jesus i did go out in Andy from gdi's car and love his suspension it is about the best i have ever had the pleasure to see and feal the way it holds on the track and yes i have just ordered a set but as you can tell they are not cheep but they are worth every penny i should have them on the car before august the 31st and i will be giving them a proper test at donnington park that day if there is any on interested in seeing what they are like on track them drop me a pm and i will try to arrange some laps for you at donnington park

The gdi package starts at £1152 +vat

it is £170+ vat for the solid top mounts so for the complete kit it is £1553.35 but the solid top mounts are worth it

aye, not cheap by any means, but I think to appreciate them you need to go out in a car with them on. For comparisons sake next time I'm at GDI if someone wants to go out in a well setup car, then I can take them out in mine, as it's a reasonably priced coilover kit that's been setup with no expense spared... yet it's pish in comparison lol... so yeah, new suspension for me when I can afford to lol
