pikey suspension setup

[Adey.]

can anyone recomend me a higher poundage spring for my kw coilovers, and what weight? i have kw v1s on my budget **** but they seem a little soft, its either change the springs or sell the whole lot and get something else, tho i dont like spending money atall. cheers in advance

You have an SC'ed Clio and don't like spending monies? Haha.

I cannot help answer your question though.. :rasp:

 

[Adey.]

lol you dont know how much it cost me to build :rasp:

Eibach ERS race springs. Not the cheapest but they are brilliant. I find you can go stiff but with the same ride as cheaper and softer springs.

 

[Adey.]

what poundage are they? anyone know what would actually be fitted to my sus at the mo?

 

[Fred@BTM]

what makes you say they're too soft?

 

[Adey.]

car feels like it rolls too much?

no sense cutting corners now then, surely

 

[Fred@BTM]

roll is a good thing! stick a whitline on the back, you won't need new springs

lol your getting it wrong, that wasnt a look at me i spent loads comment, ive spent less buying this car and building it than most spend on itbs alone

 

[Goodj]

that makes sense then, got worried for a minute there.

so, firmer springs and bump rubbers then I guess?

EDIT:: Actually... Fancy sharing this secret? I wont tell :quiet:

 

[Adey.]

im just good with my hands

 

[chrispy.clio]

Have you polybushed your wishbones and arb? That will stiffen the car up a bit more.

 

[adam172]

Rear arm will cut allot of the roll out

whiteline antiroll bars are like rare as so you will struggle to get one , they sell 500lb springs on ebay , worth a punt , got different sizes in there shop as well , http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Coilover-Spri...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35ad4ae8e6

I'd say the damping was what needed looking at more than the springs. They bottomed out when I drove it. I've just put nice new coilovers on the rsi and I'm in love with the car again after hating my old avos for a year.

that was on a country road where you were trying to ditch it lol never had that problem myself tho i never drive it that fast unless its on flat tarmac

 

[Ricardos]

I'd be surprised if none of the bushes or engine mounts haven't been uprated

you forget I've driven a lot of cars down that road over the last 10 years or more , your damping was not right. Admitedly it was an extreme way to test it, but it just made highlighting a weakness easier.

Glad you got your coilovers sorted on your RSI Dan, they felt.....ummm.....shagged when you took me to the bus station lol!

 

[sideways danny]

oh mate, they're bliss now.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

lol awesome. Hopefully I'll see for myself soon

ive got a few bits coming to give me some adjustability, massive top mounts ment for a vauxhall, ill have a huge amount of adjustability there, going to need some chassis mods to fit them but should be worth it in the long run, also some adjustable rear shocks so i can firm up the rear a little, after thats on ill get a rear arb ordered, no massive rush at the mo as the cars on axle stands while i slowly lift the engine and box out for a box change. plan is to get it handling right and have some fun this summer then around sept/oct strip the engine down and rebuild it all for some more ponies
