Never knew buying Used Suspension was soo difficult...

[Mucker]

As title says, I've been hunting for a decent set of used Coilovers for my Ph2 172 for a few months now, and anytime i do come across a set, they are sold??

Can anybody point me in the right direction, or do i have to constantly be on this forum refreshing the 'used parts for sale section' and pray to get first dibs on a set??

Yup I'm afraid you will have to be patient even second hand sets hold the value really well, you may want to think about buying new tbh

The second thing you put is the way forwards if you want the good stuff.

Put up a wanted post in the wanted section, see what comes your way.

If the price isn't that different, I'd buy new. Then you'll know exactly what you're getting & won't have to wait to get them.

I was thinking of going down the 'New' route but the clio cost me £400 with T+T so spending twice the value of the car on a coilover kit would seem a bit silly. Nonetheless, thanks for the replies!

Snooze you loose, have to just keep an eye out on the parts for sale section as said things go fast.

Too true that quote mate!

As said, stick a wanted thread up. Someone might contact you before they post a FS thread its happened to me before. Things always come up i find when your not looking, if you rush around trying to find somthing over couples of weeks you'll never find what you want, its always the way!

Think of the new ones as an asset.

Keep the standard suspension in the shed.

Buy £700 of coilovers .. sell for £5-600 in 1-2 years time and put clio back on normal suspension when selling up.

Simpulz :approve:
