Right guys been away a while.

looking at picking up a clip in the week it has near New V-Maxx coilovers fitted the car will be a weekend car and some track work will they be up to the job? OR am I better off going for stock and a good set of springs?

May also consider fitting other brand coilovers if you guys can recommend some good one for sub 500? New or used.

Thanks in advance.

I had vmaxx on a 182 and whilst they were actually pretty good on the road (very good in fact!) they were pretty lame on track. Way too soft.
If it's a track/fun car, I'd probably go with new cup dampers and cook sport springs.

Cheers buddie long time no speak.

best place and rough price on the above? Should see 250 is back for the V-maxx as there only 1000 miles old

I paid £360 new for a set of Vmaxx a few weeks ago so you should see £300+

As Dan said, they are fine for the road. I use mine daily and have no complaints. I think they are decent considering the price.

I've never taken mine on track so I can't comment, but again as Dan said they are too soft for track. It seems to be from people who've had them and done both, to keep them as a road coilover. You'll get £250 back after a track day or two so maybe try for yourself and see. As long as the condition is good you'll still see 2/3 of your money back after the track days.

Koni's? £450ish, adjustable damping. Not that low, but if you're considering standard dampers with springs im guessing you aren't going for v low? Had a set previously, brilliant setup.
