New Type Of Coilovers Just Arrived - Testing Ahead!

[the_prophet]

will fit 182's so long as its not a cup.

 

[TOGUSA]

you got these in yet?

 

[the_prophet]

who??

 

[Bondie]

right guys, their on and look awsome. It was too dark for piccys so that will be tomorrow. Ive slammed the back as far as it will go which is around 50-60mm. And on the front it sits nicely with some awsome camber. Me & Cookie_jnr both agree that they are basically the same as ktechs own just been rebranded, nice smooth drive not bumpy, corner very well also after being in mine and in a clio with a ktech setup i could tell no difference. Imo their well worth £165 of anyones money. Well get pics and other bits up 2morro.

 

[the_prophet]

may have to come and have nose dude at some point...glad you got them fitted and your impressed with them.

 

[Bondie]

yeah well going to do final adjustments on sunday so will be perfect then but im very impressed by them for that money! Hopefully people will follow suit.

 

[the_prophet]

i was hoping you were going to say they were s**t tbh, i only need front shocks for mine as ive just picked up some rears, and really didnt wanted end up hearing they were good.

 

[Cooksport]

To be honest, for the money they are a very good set of coilovers. Smooth ride, handled well. The back is as low as it will go on the adjusters. Obviously the current set up is not for handling.

 

[colossuss]

What are they like over pot holes? Aha

 

[Daz.]

pics!

 

[Cooksport]

They weren't crashy for the short run i was in there.

Didnt get a change to take some pics with different heights as i had to be somewhere.

Im sure bondie will get some pictures up soon!

 

[Dunn]

awesome cant wait to see pics
im gonna buy a set in the next couple of weeks

 

[PJ89]

When u bought them and went to checkout did they try n charge you for postage n packaging?

 

[krisbutler02]

pics please

 

[jon_r]

Yeah, postage is 25 euros, not free as your first led to believe

 

[Ben..]

AAARGH i wants these for 1.2!!

 

[tandino]

Yeah, postage is 25 euros, not free as your first led to believe

Postage is free, you just have to push them as it states in the Ebay advert that it is free....
I got them to amend the checkout price and they dropped the 25 euro delivery..

 

[PJ89]

Yeah, postage is 25 euros, not free as your first led to believe

yeh i emailed the guy n he said that it was an error in the checkout process and then he changed to free postage!

 

[chequer]

i am interested inthese any chance of pics please

 

[Will.]

Can someone confirm if these will fit a non sport?

 

[mullen]

Can someone confirm if these will fit a non sport?

from what i have been reading they won't

 

[Dinnek]

Does anyone knows about whose inserts and springs are there?

Can you adjust, hardness?

 

[mullen]

Pics?

 

[Bondie]

Yeah, postage is 25 euros, not free as your first led to believe

I contacted him and i got mine for free???

 

[Bondie]

Pics as promised, after another day of driving on them ive been very surprised how well they handel, not crashy and seem alright over pothole but you do try to avoid them anyway lol. Further adjustment needed either 2morro or monday and it is still yet the settle down. Thankyou to Prince Harry lmao aka cookie_jnr for fitting them!

Outcome:- BTW my wheels are 17's

Back on the lowest setting but still to settle so approx another inch drop!

Nice spot of camber!

Bondie

 

[mullen]

think I shall be getting some of these!

 

[tandino]

You will either want to use the top spring cup complete or the cup washer that is spot welded on top of the cup itself to spread the load onto the top mount bearing, otherwise all the load will go on the inner circumference of the bearing.
I drilled out the spot welds as i didnt want to use the complete spring cup

 

[jon_r]

I'll email about the postage then, thought it was a little cheeky

 

[AKFM1]

now i wish my 182 didnt have the cup packs now grrrrrr

 

[Clart]

i've just made him an offer...

 

[Gaz_]

No dust covers for the damper rods?

 

[krisbutler02]

[Dunn]

[mullen]

is it worth doing a group buy see how much we can get them for?

 

[krisbutler02]

group buy sounds good

 

[Dunn]

can someone put a group buy together as seems there is alot of us interessted ???

 

[Cooksport]

No dust covers for the damper rods?

Yeah they are on there... the black bit bellow the bump stop...the bit which looks like a dust cover.

 

[Cooksport]

Bondie, for the last time... im not prince harry

 

[Bondie]

Sorry dude, love you xx

 

[krisbutler02]

only thing stopping me buy is that the rear is not low enough , hope it settles more
