Best Coilovers?

Postby Percy! on Tue May 04, 2004 11:12 pm

What are the best ones and the best price?

Also I have seen them specfic to models no is this due to weight of the engine and so on or different fittings on different models?

Just asking as I have a 1.1 MK3.5 but I am putting a 2litre engine in so do I get the 1.1 coilovers or RS1800 ones?

Just had a look on x-factor and found AVO coilovers for £536 is this any good?

Coilovers are not engine specific, they will either be for a mk3 or a mk3.5. Avo's are ok and good for the price, H&R's are generally regarded as the best but cost approx £740, ive got them on mine :D Cant beat X-Factor.

H&Rs are sounding good then, I assume you got them off xfactor? (just they aren't on the site)

Anybody else any opinions on this before I spend £740? :lol:

have u tried finding prices for gaz suspension?they do some high quality coilovers, friends of mine have fitted them to Honda CRX'x now they have the cornerinng to back up the awesome straightline speed. check um out, mate got his for 450 quid direct from gaz.
im thinking of buying some myself as my 1.6si is riding on a set of pi lowering springs and standard dampeners, makes even good roads feel like a ploughed field if ur driving hard.
regards rich :bonkers:
