Vmaxx coil overs

[steve!pax]

Hi all
I'm after some advise I bought and fitted the vmaxx coilovers supplied by ktec, they seemed to do ok on the track but I do less track miles than first anticipated.
Im not a fan of how they drive on the great British bumpy roads.
im after a set up that rides nice on the road but also gives a slight advantage on the track.
i also have a white line arb fitted not sure if that doesn't help matters as I fitted that at the same time.
Any advise would be great!

Can't you adjust for road use? Soften them

New oe dampers and polybushes with eibach springs and whitepine arb was the set up on mine, was brilliant on the great british roads a perfect fast road set up imo. No differance to comfort to standard but massive improvment in handling overall.

Seans6 thanks for the reply...... I may give that a go sounds like good advise and if it's tryed and tested then good stuff

Anyone want to buy some vmaxx coil overs about 200 miles old

 

[Chi]

Lol you haven't given them a chance.

 

[steve!pax]

Ha well I have I just think it's a bit hard and having a supercharger it seems to pull all over the place and find all the pot holes

Vmaxx are only hight and camber adjustable, but not damping adjustable.

Or in other words a bit 2 bob

I would be looking at more higher spec stuff tbh. Vmaxx is a budget coilover.

As said cup shocks and decent springs are good for the road. Or (will get shot for this) I have gaz gha fitted to the cup and find them good.

 

[steve!pax]

I think I'm going to try the cup shocks with a decent spring!
thanks for the advise everyone

lol you won't die alone cause I'm ok with my gaz also
To the op- I would definitely have a decent set of coilies on a supercharged clio! Just get some adjustable ones, there are many options out there.
Btw the gaz I have on the softer setting only feel just a little harder than std. I'd try a set of Spax rsx's if I were to buy something now

 

[steve!pax]

Im not to fussed about money I've gone far enough now I just want a nice setup that feels safe I'd say the vmaxx are too hard and dnt suit normal road use I want the feel of oem but with better handling if you know what I mean!

vmaxx are shizzle mate, i hated mine , took them off and slung em right over the bushes, lol
i ended up with a set of spax, the little BG is like a gokart now, it puts a smile on my kipper most of the time,

it was the rears (vmaxx) that drove me round the twist, CLUNK,CLUNK CLUNK. 24/7.
fronts no prob's at all,

 

[steve!pax]

Any ideas of the best place to get spax coileys from!?!

 

[Jack 172]

What springs are good to look at with cup shocks, would love a nice set of coilys but space rsx's are beyond my budget ATM!

 

[marcushookdale]
