Coilovers purchased, what else do i need?

[Nafoff]

so they are ordered now, FK KONIGSPORTS

what else is advised to purchase?

camber adjustment bolts, solid top mounts, powerflex bushes etc etc...

 

[Djw John]

You wont need camber bolts cos the coilovers have the ability anyway, dont powerflex it as it'll wear out the metal instead so go for either new or solid top mounts imo

 

[Nafoff]

sounds like some knowledge there......

 

[Djw John]

Its amazing how easily confidence and knowledge are confused

Well I know that, with a little hub 'adjustment' we could change the camber on Daves FKs so Im assuming it would be the same.

Powerflex are far too hard, brand new standards ones make much more sense. Remember, things do move about and if its not the cheap bush thats wearing out the chances are that its the expensive metal instead!

And if you have the cash monies for the solid top mounts then go for it!

 

[Nafoff]

noticed that they are fairly expensive...wasn't expecting that....

you reckon thats the only other thing needed then

 

[Djw John]

Na not needed, just not a waste of money like the other 2

 

[Nafoff]

lol.....

well what i really want to solve is the creaking / knocking noise i am getting, there is a very long thread in the faults section but knowone can pinpoint it...lol

so you reckon i shouldn't have a problem with camber and tyre wear or anything else then

 

[Djw John]

The absolute best addtional money you can spend following fitting coilovers is a full professional set up. That'll get the best from them and sort out tyre wear, camber etc.

 

[Nafoff]

yer thats what i am on msn chatting to christopher about

what do they actually do in professional set up and what does it alleviate?

should i have problems if i am driving around on them not properly set up?

 

[Djw John]

Only premature tyre wear and not optimum performance from them.

They could corner-weight the car, make sure that the drop is appropriate, ie the same at both sides at the front and back. They will also adjust toe-in, camber etc etc

 

[Nafoff]

as i thought.........cheers for the info....

new thread posted asking for pro's in the south west

 

[Djw John]

No worries bud.

After having a blast in Daves stripped beast its getting tempting to follow the same path..........must resist!!!

 

[Nafoff]

i use to say standard i know...but theres plenty of them and i really wasn't enjoying it, needed something individual

 

[Djw John]

Yeah its what was needed!

Not so many flamers so will wait till Dave buys his and make him strip that as well!

 

[Nafoff]
