Ive got some non sport v maxx coilovers for sale, if you would be interested in second hand

 

[StevieG-09]

I had vmaxx collies on mine. I thought they where great. My rep was quite low and they still had more to go.
Ride comfort was better than just having lowring springs on but was still bumpy. Not too bad though
good bit of kit imo

 

[littleC18]

ebay would probably be cheapest. i ordered my rokkor ones yesterday. was £160.20. cant go wrong with that really! im doing the hub conversions aswell. the ones you've got in the link say 52mm bolt spacing. surely yours is 58mm being a 16v?

 

[VIICarCare]

yeh, i think the 1.2's are 58 spacing!

Tonksy, pm me price please buddy

 

[VIICarCare]

btw, mines only an 8v

 

[James28]

I've got Vmaxx's on my non sport. Think they're great

 

[littleC18]

you'll need to measure it as some ph2's are 52mm but most are 58mm. i have an 8v too! snap!

 

[sideways danny]

V-maxx are my budget coilover of choice

 

[VIICarCare]

Well, i haven't a clue where/what to measure! Littlec can you do it for me please! lol

 

[James28]

You need to measure the distance between these two bolts:
Centre to centre is best probably. Just so you can work out the distance the holes are.

 

[VIICarCare]

ah, i see! thanks James! What are these Rokko ? ones like?

check your bolt spacing mate, I think mk2 ph1 are different bolt spacing? not sure though

 

[tommm]

think i am goin 2 go 4 the vmaxx coilovers are theys hard to fit??

 

[JCC]

^ You'll need spring compressors to take the top mounts off your standard shocks on the front, apart from that it's a peice of piss, as long as you don't go shearing any bolts.

 

[tommm]

or ryt thanks. and probily goin to sound stupid here but what do u mean by shearing bolts?

 

[Beef-Mc]

Snapping the bolt in two lol.

 

[tommm]

lol oooor reeet. make sure a dont how long do you think it would take 2 put them in about

 

[jack_kemp]

Is there a massive difference between the V-maxx coilovers and more expensive options? Obviously you get what you pay for, but I mean, is it silly to not save for better ones?

 

[JoeyD]

on a non-sport, the cheaper the better IMO.
for a sport, you'd probably want to pay for a quality product for adjustability, ride quality, reliability etc.

Probably about half a day - an afternoon?

Righty, well I have a 172 cup. So what are the best value for money coilovers for the cup?

 

[JCC]

I wouldn't be putting anything less than H&Rs/Bilsteins/KWs on a sport, budget £750+ for a new set.

 

[jack_kemp]

Are spax coilovers any good on the clio?

 

[JoeyD]

What he said!
You'd only regret buying lesser ones tbh.

 

[Craigus]

I would sell the car, buy a new fiat whilst you save up for them.

 

[m4rkie23]

Sorry but I just nearly lost a mouth full of tea then. ROFL

 

[mat-nos]

lol that is gonna be that standard response over winter...

imo if you have a sport and you drive it the way it should be driven then budget coilovers are prob not the best thing, if on the other hand you just want it to look low and not interested in handeling or performance then (i dont know why you have an rs) get the cheap ones...

 

[S23]

V-Maxx's on a non sport are fine, that's what I run and I have never had any problem with them. Other than the C spanner being made out of edam and the rear spring being on the soft side, but if you haven't got any poke you'll be fineee.

 

[clio182nurburg]

v-max arn't the best at all! car will still drive with them on though i suppose! I also wouldnt buy anything less than £500 on a RS..
Can recommend the higher end Gaz suspension,

rokkor don't do these for a 172? only non sport?
