i think im taking the plunge and getting coilovers am i right in thinking the H&Rs are the best for the 182 (cupped) and is there any other good ones if so where would be the cheapest/best place to get them. and another thing if i got them how much would setting them up cost cheers.im looking to spending upto £800.

thanks

I recently got coilovers. Went for ast in the end, 50 quid more than h&r, but adjustable damping and a rear coilover, which no one else makes iirc. Awesome, especially on 15's

Love the way that in 2 mins I can adjust all the dampers and the car feels completely different. Hopefully the adjstable top mounts will be ready soon.

coilovers yes, top mounts, hopfully but only if they get there tomorow. im not picking up the car till sat neway so if people wana have a look over the coilovers and setup they can do. ive opted for the full track setup with stiffer springs and having rear camber shims fitted at the same time

lol, u like that edit button dnt you lol. they do look like a good bit of kit tho, hope there worth the exspense. like the idea of adjusting the camber at the top rather than using camber bolts. plus the service they provide down at powerstation is worth the cost alone, defo get my vote, everyone buy AST from powerstation

Im not in any rush for mine. I'll let you guys test them out.

Actually I said to Curtis that I could sell my H&R's and pay him a vist ;)


Will have a Loooong hard think over the winter

There not adjustable camber from the top. They are just offset at the top.

ok they offset the strut top from center which in turns adjusts the camber of the front wheels
