Vmaxx/FK Coilovers for a very good price !

[SmokeyTheBandit]

During my search for a new coilover set a few weeks ago i came across this website where they sell coilovers for a very very good price.
Allot cheaper than you would normally see. I went for a second hand AP set in the end, but since the FK and Vmaxx are so popular i thought id share this with u.

I always check the prices in Germany, allot of automotive gear is allot cheaper there than it is in the rest of europe.
It surely didn't let me down this time since this is by far the lowest price i found anywhere.

Interesting... I may have to get some Vmaxx..

 

[DanEdser]

the first one (on vmaxx)... that 52mm? cant understand german :/

EDIT: yes it is! might get these!

You find an RB eventually then mate?

 

[SmokeyTheBandit]

Good to hear you guys like it, the vmaxx is realy realy cheap there.
To think that 2nd hand vmaxx coilovers trade owners for more than these costs here (and BRAND-NEW aswell )

Chrome has a built in translate plugin that is realy realy easy to use, results are not super .... but understandable.

I also contacted vmaxx about the support (dutch company) if it was possible to ship any defective units directly to them.
This was possible allthough the company you bought them from has to raise the rma request, and tell them in this request that it is send in directly.
Good to know aswell.

 

[Tunst]

Yeah, hopefully going to see one tomorrow!

All the decent FF's were out of my budget so gone for a cup.. I can easily add the Xenons and Interior..

 

[Joe#]

Why didn't you post this last week lol.

 

[ekaJ]

Gone for it

 

[Joe#]

Nice one mate

so are these defective? :S

Do you know if they do one for the non-cup? Usually these are easier to find but doesn't seem to the case in this instance!

They do 54/60mm in the v/maxx's.

 

[DanEdser]

they also do the 52mm for mine!

http://shopping.blizzard-tuning.de/...0302_vmaxx-gewindefahrwerk--renault-clio.html

if you google the part code along with "VMaxx" the vmaxx page comes up with 52mm bolt spacing

 

[SmokeyTheBandit]

so are these defective? :S

I assume not, its purely that i wanted to know what the support is going to be if one starts leaking for example and you NEED the support.
That was the reason i had to start looking for a new set in the first place (Raceland front shock started leaking ...... ).

Check the vmaxx website they have all the available sets in a database, simply check the one for your car and compare the part number with the one on the blizzard website ---> job done !
http://www.v-maxx.co.uk/viewproduct.asp?id=163&m2=81

Part number : 60 RE 03

This is the one you need for (54mm = non cup) same part number -> http://shopping.blizzard-tuning.de/...0304_vmaxx-gewindefahrwerk--renault-clio.html

[ekaJ]

[DanEdser]

[not260]

What about the VAT etc?

 

[DanEdser]

What about the VAT etc?

if you read the page it says VAT is included in the price

 

[not260]

19% is the German VAT rate though so technically will be due UK VAT @ 20% on delivery?

Doesn't work like that as far as I am aware.

 

[DanEdser]

nah we wont have to pay that!

only have to pay import fees when importing from out of the continent i think?

 

[SmokeyTheBandit]

Correct ! You can buy stuff from all over europe and get it send over to your doorstep without any extra costs (Long live the European Union :clap.

 

[DanEdser]

price has gone up! D:

 

[Stefan.]

makes mine a bargain

 

[SmokeyTheBandit]

Wow a pretty big increase, was bount to happen sooner or later
Well i hope as much people as possible taken advantage off this.

I have seen a few other prices on these in Germany and they where arround 350 euro's.
So if you need these just search for the part number (you need for your car) in germany (manually select only german sites in google).
