Re: what think of these coil overs?/

when it says sumat about the rea'rs nt bein adjustable fitted, but adjustable unfitted, you HAVE to disconnect the dampers to drop the back radius arms then you adjust the part that doesnt come with the second-hand ones on ebay that somebody pointed out. I have fitted a set of these to another car, was maybe a mk3 astra but i cannot remember at the mo. These are a reali smart looki bit of kit. if you had powdercoated rea- arms and rear GT disks (if they fit) then you could b oe of these poeple that take the rims off ur car put it on axle stands to show it off at shows smart deal you got there though - well dun

Re: what think of these coil overs?/

koni are good, but as said there are better coilovers out there.

try looking for KW or FW coilovers, rated very well from what i have read about them. also LEDA coilovers are good on puntos.

Re: what think of these coil overs?/

that not too bad then, but why coilovers? why not get fully ajustable sports suspension.

i currently have avo adjustables on mine, with spax springs. very good set up.

Re: what think of these coil overs?/

lookin at few replies in that thread.. hmmm maybe they're confusing spax wi summit else. i run spax springs and spax adjustable dampers, and rate them highly.

that poll is a lil unfair, a kinda small price (!) differences between the two aint there?

Re: what think of these coil overs?/

Spax are good imo, but koni are better.

But as Arc says, its a bit unfair comparing them as they arent in the same price range.
