Where's the cheapest place to find Williams Coilovers??

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

I'm after some KW or H&R Coilovers for a Williams.

Cheapest I can find is about £600 but I want cheaper.

Anyone got any suggestions please?

errr, Check out Avo Dan...

Stay clear from AVO tbh..... few people i know have had alot of problems with them

Didn't smokey have some H&R's up for grabs second hand?

There was a guy on here that had a set, but he hasn't been on here since march and his PM box is full.

Oh really? 2Live raves about them and he's pretty handy on the black top!

Ive used them in the past and had no problems with them... if you look on williamsclio, a few members have had to return them a few times due to failings

They are nice cheap with club discount and mine came the next day... was about 2 years ago mind lol

They're good (well matched spring rates and dampers normally) but not very durable in my experience. My Ex's nova popped 3 dampers in under a year

Don't waste your money on AVO's
Cheap and nasty, better off with standard.
LEDA's or H&R.

 

[Ali]

lol. Leda and H&R's arn't without failures!

 

[arj256]

Yeah but at least they don't bend easily, leak for a living and give average performance

 

[Ali]

Suppose it's debateable...I personally don't rate H&R and our leda's went back about 5times on the Caterham before we switched to Billi's!!

No experience with Avo's tho.

 

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

Christ. Nobody seems to rate H&R's or AVO's!

I think I'll stick with KW's then.

 

[sideways danny]

nothing bad to say about KW

 

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

I have them at the moment on a 172 that i've got. Only done one track day in it but the setup was bloody awesome!!

Funny that - H&R's adjustable coilover packages for the Mk1 clio's use bilstein dampers. and H&R are well renowned for their spring design.
Thus making your post above slightly contradicting.

I would go for H&R adjustable coilovers personally.
bilstein dampers.
And H&R have LOADS of experience in designing springs - do your research before making a decision.

Still really struggling here chaps. Want to order some but i'm getting so many fcuking opinions..... :S

Duely corrected.

Although thats only on the mk1. mk2 172/and V6 don't use Billi dampers!

Dan- KW are leagues ahead imo! Although that doesn't your question Re. where to buy!

 

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

I've got Fred on the case re KW V1's. He seems to rate them very highly.

I've emailed a few traders off here but as per usual they promise a lot but deliver fcuk all.

 

[sideways danny]

mk2 172........ don't use Billi dampers!

they do actually

 

[Ali]

they do actually

V6 100% don't, and the ones i had on the 172 had no markings. Only Eibach common springs.

Nothing wrong with the three sets of H&R's ive had, very refined, and very very good. Not the usual cheap rubbish. All H&R coilover sets i've seen use Bilsein inserts, hardly a crap name is it?!
