Spax Coilovers

[Nick172Cup]

Has anyone here ever used them a sport?

Ive seen these - http://www.potn.co.uk/p1321692.htm

They dont lower much which desnt really bother me, though says it has damper adjustment also which is good i presume.

Any info would be nice

Cheers
Nick

add a wee bit more and you could get fk konisports which also offer adjustable dampening

Seem a bit pricey! V-Max are supposed to be cheaper but excellent quality/ride.

I have Spax on my 1.2 16v, payed around the same iirc,

No problem what so ever and my car is lowered to the max in the front and rear, handles great with the adjustable dampers set to hard..

^ but JME do you want your rear shocks poppin out

ive heard that spax, v maxx and hottuing are made by the same factory but just branded under diferrent names. dont know if this is true but ive heard it from more than one person

 

[Nick172Cup]

Surely that must be wrong as the vmaxx's lower the car more than the spax's unless there different designs.

im not saying its the same unit mate but im saying i have been told they are made by the same factory.

^ front only go down to about 90mm iirc, but the rear says can only handle 60mm, but mine has take twice of that with my custom springs, takin it about 120mm+ set on hard ovcourse to take the bends like a "go kart"

Haha, been there, had that happen...

I even drove it to the garage about a mile down the road with the rear on just springs :quiet: never again!

I'll consider a set of these as my mate has had spax in the past and they have always been very good. Last time i looked spax didn't make them for the sport so i'm glad you pointed it out.
