Searched for this and found loads so i'll just ask again. :rolleyes:

I've got a 16v and have recently swapped over to standard suspension from a Spax kit which was just too hard for every day driving, but I now need it lowered again but for something a little easier on the bumps.

Any suggestions?

by **Stoned** on Wed May 28, 2003 12:22 pm

I've got spax shocks and jamex springs and they are hard as nails

I have however just purchased a nice H&R Coilover set so I'll let you know how they turn out.

by **DeanoW** on Wed May 28, 2003 12:25 pm

yeah cheers.

How much were they if you dont mind me asking?

by **chumkila** on Wed May 28, 2003 12:26 pm

u wont be dissapointed with the H&R's Stoned.

by **Stoned** on Wed May 28, 2003 6:17 pm

£740, you can get cheaper coilovers though. X-Factor sell the Avo's for £520. I got the H&R's though since I wanted the best.

Chum: you were one of the people that recommended them to me a while back. They are going on the car on Friday - cant wait

I only wish the springs had been red like my car, they are blue

by **DeanoW** on Wed May 28, 2003 9:53 pm

thats a wee bit out of my price range.

i'll have about £400 for the kit so any more ideas?

by **Stoned** on Thu May 29, 2003 8:15 am

How about a matched spring and shocks set. Something like Spax sell?

by **DeanoW** on Thu May 29, 2003 8:46 am

well i've got Spax already so could i just change the springs to something softer like standard?

by **chumkila** on Thu May 29, 2003 8:58 am

Stoned to the best of MY knowledge mine was the 1st Fiesta in the UK with the H&R's on. :wink:

Kool@firday, let us know how u get on. I cant remember the colour of my springs. lol.

by **df908** on Thu May 29, 2003 4:57 pm

GMax kit?

Soft enough for driving around daily, I got some on, dunno how they compare to Spax but most peeps on here seem to like 'em?

by **chumkila** on Thu May 29, 2003 5:07 pm

yea G-Max are quite popular. So they must be decent

by **Xr2i_Boy** on Thu May 29, 2003 5:19 pm

Ir want to lowered ma Xr2i 8v. was look at 40mm or lower.
Got standard Xr2i Shocks.

my post count? why wots up with u it?

by **Maff Si** on Thu May 29, 2003 10:19 pm

Which 16v have ya got ?

if you are looking to spend £400 inc fitting then go for the KYB GAS Shocks with Eibach Springs combo

should cos ya under £280 for the lot

Jay @ X-Factor can get you the springs and ya should find a local motor factor will stock KYB dampers

if ya need KYB's number to find ya nearest stockist just give me a shout

by **MIK3Y** on Fri May 30, 2003 2:32 am

Ive been imforned Gaz coilovers are the way to go and are around 450?
Any1 got them?

by **chumkila** on Fri May 30, 2003 9:01 am

Gaz?? Sounds like their made in the East-End of london! :lol:

I've got the XR2i 16v and that combo sounds like the best option so far so could you pass on that number please

DeanoW :I've got the XR2i 16v and that combo sounds like the best option so far so could you pass on that number please

Rear: 341801

nice one mate

by **MIK3Y** on Fri May 30, 2003 12:02 pm

COILOVERS have to be the best option don't they? Any1 got an Avos or Gaz set on their FRS?

by **chumkila** on Fri May 30, 2003 12:06 pm

MIK3Y :COILOVERS have to be the best option don't they

Not in the case of the original question above. DeanoW wants to know what the best handling/ride suspension set-up for his 1.8 16v (i believe) would be.

by **DeanoW** on Fri May 30, 2003 12:14 pm

aye chum, but if i could afford the £800 for coilovers i would but the cars not worth enough in my opinion

by **MIK3Y** on Sat May 31, 2003 12:22 am

Has any1 heard of Gaztronic coilovers (GAZ)?
Apparently they are about £450 and beat AVOs for road handling so must be worth a little extra than just getting a Koni or Spax kit IMO.

by **Billy C** on Sat May 31, 2003 7:54 pm

Yeah i've heard of GAZ, they're based in Basildon, Essex. They don't sell to public just Trade, a Carnoussier ( however you spell it) in Westcliff/Southend Does them. If you need the number then look in one of those lax power type mags as carnoussier is a big franchise.

I enquired about a Adj shox and springs set up and the guy said he can do em for £280, which I think is a Pukka price !

I got G-Max in the as I couldn't afford Gaz, plus I hadn't heard much about them either. They do a shít load for Mini's though!

by **MIK3Y** on Sun Jun 01, 2003 2:33 am

Yeah, they used to only do Minis so i heard and have branched out and are surpose to be the mutts nuts & better than the Avo kits and cheaper!

by **Billy C** on Sun Jun 01, 2003 10:59 am

Also The coilover's are available at Burton Power as well :wink:

by **MIK3Y** on Sun Jun 01, 2003 6:50 pm

They only seem to stock the shocks/dampers on the website though. R u sure they do a coilover kit? CheeRS

by **Billy C** on Sun Jun 01, 2003 9:38 pm

Yeah they do have coilovers, they were in this years catalogue, I think they were around £451 + vat say around £80. Give em a ring that'll be your best bet!

by **Fez Si Boy** on Thu Jul 24, 2003 2:45 pm

So does anyone know which suspension kit lowered 60mm all round gives the best comfy ride for about £400? If spax is to hard what are the others like chassis dymanics, Avo's, eibach and koni's?
