[marcushookdale]

View attachment 57625View attachment 57626I fitted sportline springs about 4-5 weeks ago now,and i know they need time to
settle, but i cView attachment 57624ant see them settling the way i want it to really, so the only way i'm
gonna get more of a drop is buy some coilovers, and sell these sportlines,

wow sorry about pici's being all over the shop,

need to sus that 1 out yet,

 

[Cerrone]

the drop looks ok mate! what is it on?

 

[Jekyll]

sportlines!! im the same mate, fitted sportlines but the drop isnt enough so im going down the coilover route too. apex will give a better drop but the ride is terrible apparently.

 

[marcushookdale]

i bought a set of apex when i first got the 182, i didnt even get around to fitting them on, because of sh1t feedback about them,

so i sold them on ere, i dont track it or never plan to, so i think i'm just gonna settle for vmaxx's coilovers,

Got a good chiropractor lined up?

Seriously though, I see how you mean, that looks standard!

On a different note, I got a call from NASA, they say they have a spare copy of this months EVO if you're interested

If it's only bout looks just get a custom made set of springs? Would be cheaper,I have had the apex springs and didn't think they were that bad to be honest, if you driving an rs Clio and you main concern is ride comfort you have the wrong car lol

 

[Goodj]

Wont he need better shocks to go with the springs anyway?

 

[marcushookdale]

i'm not to botherd about ride comfort, i know just the apex wouldnt be upto my liking,

 

[Jekyll]

vmaxx's are good budget coilovers. nice ride comfort, good lows, and are fairly cheap. £450ish. this is what i'll be going for in a couple of months. you planning on doing it soon?

 

[marcushookdale]

yeh i'm going to be getting maybe 2 months ish, sometimes i look at the 182 and think, yeh she looks good,

but sometimes i see it from a different position and just think ohh no, back end looks to high sometimes,

so i need to put it right, so vmaxx's they'll do for what i want .

 

[ScarySquirrel]

I felt the same, went for KTEC coilovers in the end, a lot of people slate them, but they've done me well so far. Combined with a rear ARB the handling is brilliant, ride comfort isn't the best but meh, not really fussed about that.

 

[marcushookdale]

yeh i thought about KTEC'S, by having bit of a read up on here,

to me it seems vmaxx get more of peoples vote,

scarysquirrel did you get your arb problem sorted out ?
did it bend, i seem to remember reading, plus the rubbers got damaged??

IMO, your money would be better spent ok FK coilovers that v-maxx. Much better build quality for about the same money.

I didn't think FK did coilovers for the cup packed hubs - only for non-cup packed 182s?

Eibach springs wont settle. They are the same out the box.
