Hottuning Coilovers

[Sanz]

First post on this forum guys so be gentle!

Basically as title, has anyone had any experience with these coilovers. I don't care about handling/ride quality as the car will be slammed. I'm just looking for a cheap set of coilovers.

Cheers,Adam.

Never heard of the coilovers, link?

Welcome btw

 

[Beef-Mc]

As above.

 

[AhmedRSi]

How much are they?

 

[TimR26]

Get Raceland coilovers if they costs more than £200.

 

[Sanz]

£350 and they're on this site www.hottuning.co.uk > coilover sets > renault > clio.

I'll check the raceland coilovers out.

 

[TimR26]

Look in traders section Ktec are doing a group buy.

 

[AhmedRSi]

Hottuning are selling some on ebay for £180 lol...

 

[theduck]

Look like another re-branded Raceland type coileover in that photo

 

[Sanz]

I've had them before in another car but wanted to hear your opinions on using them in the clio. I need to pay-up before I can check out the group buy on the Raceland coilovers!

massive in the vw scene. highly rated

Had them on a corsa and wasn't too impressed but can't be any better/worse than the racelands or vmaxx. I'd give them a go if you can get them around the £170 mark as thats what i paid for them. When i bought them you just put a bid in and they'd either accept it or add a tenner on to it. They'll be ok if you just want it for looks and not over all performance.

I had these on my astra convertible, sat real nice... easy to fit aswell

 

[Sanz]

It's only for 'looks'...performance in a 1.2 haha! The racelands are the wrong hub spacing for mine. I'll give these hottuning ones a whirl...

 

[Iain C]

raceland ones are only for the 172 arnt they?

 

[Tupps]

hottuning and raceland are the same company iirc?

well.... i bought hot tuning and the box had raceland plastered all over it?!

Here's how my astra sat...

 

[rich_1989]

do i smell another UK raceland supplyer?

 

[Cup_Phil]

I'm fairly sure hot-tuning and raceland are the same company - or partnered

Hottuning used to be the people who sold raceland strut braces and seats on ebay from raceland

 

[Sanz]

Bought these. They'll do the job for all I need them for.

As long as you keep the helper springs on the front you'll be fine with them. I took the helper springs out and then wound them right to the bottom so no wonder mine rode like they did as they had no travel left in them. It did look good though.

300 seems steep for em imo

Write a review when you've fitted them please!

 

[rich_1989]

£15 delivery on top too! thats only £35 away from KTR's!

 

[Laura]

the likely hood is they all come from the same factory anyway tbh

 

[James28]

But these are for a non sport

Ktec don't do a cheap one for non sport I dont think

 

[rich_1989]

good point didnt see that small factor....

 

[Sanz]

These are the cheapest coilovers I could find for non-sports. As laura said, I reckon the raceland/hottuning/unit3 all come from the same factory! I'll give them a whirl and write a review once I've got them fitted. I'm not expecting good ride quality but tbh that doesn't bother me..it'll look sick as fook slammed on some 2118s

Noticed these 3 weeks ago.

they were 285 posted!! was gutted when they went up

increased price led me to convince myself I don't need them :/
