Coilovers on

[Clart]

Had my raceland ebay coilovers fitted by fred yesterday. First impressions are very good, certainly stiffer than standard but not unbearably so. Get on a bad road and you'll feel the difference though. Seemed easy to fit and certainly sharpens the car up considerably. For £160, they are a proper bargain. Back is wound right down, front are about 1/2 way i think, but could probably do with being a touch lower.

Also had a k-tec supersport stealth fitted. If you drive accordingly its not much louder than standard. If you boot it, well thats another matter, LOUD!

Next up its black bullets and maybe a splitter.

ghetto fix on the exhaust hanger.

oh hai!

 

[Riad]

Nice mate!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Looks good that.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Nice, now clean your car!

 

[Hazza]

HAHA At the rig up jobbie! - is that a socket wedged in and cabled tied secured to keep the exhaust higher? lol

 

[Davis]

[Hazza]

its the tried and tested method.

Is it sticking?... what if u need that piece later on in life? lol

 

[guysy]

Very nice !

Treat it to a clean though !

 

[Clart]

small socket = cheaper than new hanger

 

[Nafoff]

is that what they are new £160???

 

[Clart]

£160 inc postage from germany. ktec are selling them now for £200....

I like the ride height at the rear but definitely agree that the front needs dropping a bit more (although I have no idea how this would affect the ride quality and whether it'd cause any rubbing). I'm also glad to see that I'm not the only Iceberg owner who can't be bothered to clean it every 5 minutes.

 

[Nafoff]

including postage...blimey
thats crazy.

not sure what to say to that.

with regards to rubbing, pretty much the only thing to worry about would be the driveshafts on the chassis

 

[Tom]

Looks ace.

 

[jon_r]

Mine is a bit lower at the front, I think it'd suit yours to be a bit lower as well.

 

[.Kev.]

Are KTecs 40 more?

 

[Revels]

Good work!

But stick with silver badges dude!

 

[alex-avfc]

^ Good advice. Painted bullets are a bit 2008 now

 

[beatjunkie]

Has anyone compared these to the KTR ones?

£160 seems sooooo cheap....

 

[Steviant]

Looks good. You can spend the spare £40 on camber bolts next.

 

[.Kev.]

Sooner 40 notes in my pocket then theres.

 

[jon_r]

Looks good. You can spend the spare £40 on camber bolts next.

Its all included in the package Steve.

 

[Steviant]

Its all included in the package Steve.

Bargain. How much can you screw out of it do you recon? -3

 

[Sarah]

looks good clart

i use the same thing on my exhaust....works a treat

 

[jon_r]

I must admit, I don't know what -1, -2 or -3 looks like to the naked eye, but there is a fair amount of movement. I'll ask when I actually get the car setup.

 

[Slammed172]

Two coilover'd iceberg's on standard wheels at Fred's yesterday then

Looks good, be sure to clean it

 

[Clart]

is that one on vmax yours then? had a nasty scrape on it.

 

[Slammed172]

Yep.

Yeah some one crashed into it when we had the snowy period and kindly left no details to my suprise when i went to it in the morning.

 

[Clart]

unlucky, someone did that to my passenger door about 3 months ago. cnuts

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

is it just me that cant see the pics

 

[YorkshireDaz]

Nice, Dont expect them to last long for £160!

 

[Clart]

well they have a 2 year warranty. thats good enough for me.

 

[DMS]

Icebergs on standard whimz are the way to roll

 

[Needster]

Looks good. Perhaps slightly too high at the front, could be just the pics mind. It'll probably look sweet in the metal.

Weren't on the M1 on Sunday afternoon were you, Clart?

 

[Clart]

nope

 

[Cal182]

God I want coilovers sooo bad! Need to save up!

 

[Fred@BTM]

it'll bed down a bit, leave it as it is for now

 

[Curley]

Looking much nicer. It would look better with the front lowered a bit.

I agree about keeping the bullets, just give it a clean and it'll be minter.

 

[allanmcm]

can you still get these for £160? can someone point me in the right direction?
