Rear dampers/shocks lol.

 

[coleman]

I hope your not paying alot for them

 

[JackJack]

Yep missing rear shocks.

Rear dampers/shocks lol.

And these are kinda essential.

thats what i thought, i havent bought them yet i was double checking before ordering them. would it be worth buying rear shocks seperate and these ? or just buy a different kit?

And these are kinda essential.

I actually though you put "are" and not "and".

Buy a different kit unless that lot is stupid cheap. Begs the question, where are the rear dampers?

 

[JackJack]

Id go for a different kit mate.

i can get hold of those rokkor/raceland ones pretty cheap off foreign ebay but its a bit of a pain in the ass. theres some second hand AP ones going on ebay, AP coilovers any good?

 

[Jon.G]

What bolt spacing do you need?

 

[clancy]

58mm, its a 1.2 16 valve, hence why i dont want to spend loads on new coilies

 

[coleman]

How much are these?

 

[clancy]

the ones in the picture? he wanted £130, i emailed asking if he does have the rear shocks and there just not in the pic, but no reply yet

 

[clancy]

any opinion on AP coilovers? they are somewhat more expensive though :/

 

[Adam.]

AP are quite good IIRC.

Cheaper version of Weitec which are a cheaper version of KW.

 

[clancy]

well i can get some rokkor ones new for £170 ish, but the bloke takes weeks to e-mail back and they dont have an actual listing for them, so i have to buy something else and then aski them for the ones i want. but to be honest i can just see that ending in me having the wrong kit turn up.
these AP ones ive seen for sale are about a year old and just over £200, does that sound reasonable? i have no idea how much they should be second hand

[JackJack]

Which are better out of FK and AP?

 

[clancy]

recon i should go for those AP ones?

 

[Jon.G]

Depends which FK's. I'm not sure what AP's offer.

I've got FK's and think they are good. By no means the best.
