Demon Tweeks Coilovers

Jordanb29 · Nov 23, 2012

Hi all,

Had a look at the Demon Tweeks site and they do finance for coilovers.. anyone tried this? ive had a look and the apr is pretty high but none the less i dont think i could fork out £250+ in one lump for some coilovers. Anyone know what discount us CS members get from Demon Tweeks? Could knock about 10% off the final price or something!

Also what mm dimension is the mounting bracket on a 1.2 8v clio if anyone knows? 23mm or 27mm?

Thanks

Lol. Can't afford £250 in a lump sum? Just save up and save yourself the interest you would have to pay on a night out/meal/anything.

Surely it would be easier to get a 0% credit card no??

If you need to get £250 out on finance, there is probably more important things you need to sort out in your life first.

Sorry if that sounded harsh, but i think it's a fair comment.

I was in a similar position to the OP last year, wanted to buy car mods but couldn't afford it, I knew this so I just didn't buy them simple really, now I have a decent job and can splash out on these things.

Save up, then buy some. £250 is dirt cheap, although you could look for some rokkor/raceland coilovers.

You know nothing of my life and what i have to pay, you probably had a pretty easy life and got things easily, when your in my position at 19 and on a minimum wage job then you try afford £250 in one go...

Tried finding some rokkor ones but they were coming out at around £400? :/ unless im looking in the wrong place, but there is good and bad reviews on them. Some saying that they broke within a year and others saying they have lasted a while and good, but both saying they are very bad over bumps? :/

You also know nothing of my life! That's exactly my point, i wouldn't "try afford" them, I simply wouldn't buy them.

Jordanb29 · Nov 23, 2012

hence why i said 'Probably' and not say you did? and well tbh its the car im going to be having it for a few years probably until i can afford something better so may aswell try and make it better? and finance i could do it as its monthly payments, but a big lump sum i could probably only afford about £120 at most?

DrR · Nov 23, 2012

Entirely up to you if you buy them, but honestly, taking out finance for £250, especially on something you don't actually need is stupid. I'm sure %99 of CS will agree.

Dolan · Nov 23, 2012

Have u tired there 0% apr ?

Jordanb29 · Nov 23, 2012

But to be honest, the 99% of CS arnt me are they? so like you said its entirely my decision. But i didnt actually say anywhere that i was going to go through with it. I was asking if anyone had done it and about the spacing on the mounting bracket for an 8v clio if anyone knew. Plus although coilovers are something i dont actually need, doesnt stop me wanting them. I want to make my car lower than the 40mm that it is at the moment.

If you can afford the payments plus £120 then save for 2/3/4 months and buy them out right.

As said, coilovers aren't needed, particularly sh1t ones. If lowz are that important, just get a set of springs.

Whatever you do, don't get the finance. Borrowing should be managed and getting into the habit of borrowing for stuff like car mods is just lunacy!

Jesus.... Just save

Addicted · Nov 23, 2012

Just save £250, why bother with some stupid APR, or even get a credit card. But in all honestly if you can't afford them then get your priorities right and DONT get them..

Jordanb29 · Nov 24, 2012

aucky · Nov 24, 2012

Hah not at all, just the level of retardedness in this thread reached full meltdown

josh11490 · Nov 24, 2012

I would take out finance for some parts but I wouldn't for a 1.2, same as I wouldn't with my vtr just because I know that ill probably sell the car before I pay on finance, if I had a 182 and intended on keeping it for 2-3 years I wouldn't hesitate to take out finance, but I wouldn't ask what people on a forum think.

When I get a 182 ill probably end up on finance for decent coilovers, I wouldn't do it for something like 250, upto you though

Jordanb29 · Nov 24, 2012

well i wont be having a new car until ive atleast got 2 years no claims i think. But everyone on here 'seems' to think that i am 'going' to buy them on finance. But i havent actually said i was going to, just saying has anyone else done it and get hate for saying it :S

A lot of people seem to think that finance is stupid etc, or just save up, but like you said it's not always easy for people to save.

Sigh.

If you can't save, how can you pay finance repayments?

Depends how much they are doesn't it, if they're not too much it would come straight out your pay packet, in an ideal world no one would use finance.

Andyk1801 · Nov 25, 2012

poor lad only asked a question and now hes getting advice from the international CS finance advice committee.

IMO if you want/need something and yo ucan get it on 0% apr then whats the point in saving, its the exact same except you get what you want now.

also again, if something is 0% why pay the full amount and struggle for a while when you can pay a small amount monthly and be comfortable and still pay the same..

Have you found out how much it would bump up your insurance?

To your original question about sizes. Your car will most likely have 52mm bolt spacing. Measure it to make sure.

Lol brilliant.

Ash_09 · Nov 25, 2012

I'm also 19 and pay a hefty amount on insurance, but even I wouldn't get finance for that? I agree, just save up and skip the interest? Failing that find a friend or family member who might be able to lend it to you?

Addicted · Nov 25, 2012

Oh nice, so not only are you potentially buying coilovers on finance because you can't afford them, you're not going to bother telling the insurance either.

Sigh.
