Early Christmas present - opinions

[Martin_172]

ordering myself an early Christmas present tomorrow and just wanted to know peoples opinions, I take it that its ok to use they springs with they shocks? £225 for the lot from motorsport world.

Koni Special front shocks
Koni Special rear shocks
Spax -60mm springs

pics to follow

Personally I'd try and go for Koni springs as well, simply because they will very probably have been done to match the dampers. Is there much of a price difference?

 

[Martin_172]

motorsport world didnt have any koni springs but i dont mind ordering them from somewhere else if i have to, i'll have a look about but if i cant get any will the spax springs still be ok with they dampers?

Matey go for the full Apex kit, i've got it on my 1.2 dynamique and its spot on!

They should be, but they might not be quite as good as a matched kit.

I know you want them like now LoL but hold back if you can and get a set up that's been developed together IMO

I love my koni's!

the only apex kit i could find on motorsport world was THIS ONE and it says that it doesnt fit 1.2 models.

koni dont make springs.

thats odd, I really cant think why it wouldnt fit the 1.2s aswell??
this is what the apex kit looks like: http://photobucket.com/albums/c28/mitchzxr/?action=view&current=552b6ea9.jpg

not got a clue why it wouldnt fit i cant see the 1.4 16V and 1.6 16V being any different but i dont want to take the chance incase there is a difference, i'll just get the konis with spax springs i think

cheers for the help

^ Id do that, Nice matching set. I wanted it but couldn't get it unless I got hub spacers

 

[M1TCH]

why didnt you get hub spacers then?.....not that I know what they are.

 

[Friction]

hub spacers?

you sure you dont mean new hubs, to change the bolt spacing?

the reason the kit wont fit MOST 1.2's is that the 1.2's have a 52mm bolt spacing. Although i'm sure the 1.2 16v is a 58mm bolt spacing.

 

[Martin_172]

yeah mine has 58mm bolt spacing

just noticed k-tec now do the apex -60mm kit for £270 so looks like im getting that now, cheers for the help guys
