Valver With Coilovers vs Williams

[phil6180]

So which is going to be the better on the road handling experience?

Obviously disregarding performance.

Phil.

 

[Daz]

Williams.


(and Im not just saying that..)

 

[Valver'o'Death]

Hmm tricky!

A williams would still have a wider track i spose!

 

[phil6180]

Would they still handle totally different to each other?

I would say it depends on the road type/surface. Wouldve thought that the Williams set-up would be more forgiving on bumpy, twisty B-road type scenario, but a coilovered valver would be more suited to a smooth sweeping A-road. Just my opinion though - feel free to flame!

Williams on bumpy surfaces will be the best hands-down. Coilovered valver would maybe be slightly better on smooth surfaces but id still pick the willy (yes - its setup really is THAT good).....

 

[bouncy tigger]

Well i have a williams and the other half has a valver on coilovers personally i think equal, really to close to call.

Comfort wise the williams wins hands down no contest.

 

[bouncy tigger]

yes they still handle completly differently imo

 

[Adams_16v]

what u want is williams track and coilovers

Horses for courses. Williams for road holding and comfort, coilovers for lowered stance, great road holding on smooth surface and better cornering speed with bumpier ride on the rough.

 

[bouncy tigger]

I would never change the setup on my williams but thats me, i suppose i have the best of both worlds really, power comes into it as well but ill let john answer that.

Yes you do.

Unless its set up properly and not lowered too much (avoiding bumpsteer etc.) the Williams will still be better handling, its more than just new springs and dampers at the end of the day. Id expect the valver would have more grip and thefore be faster though.

B-road = Willaims

A road = valver on coilovers (discounting power difference)

How much money does either way cost?

to fit aswell.
