Title: weitec spring distance kit??
Post by: rowlers on 07 March 2007, 17:49
weitec UK have offered to supply a spring distance kit, because their springs are lowering my valver too much!

I think this is very decent of them but I'm unsure if I like the sounds of them

They must surely alter the way the car rides and handles????

Would any of you peeps accept them I can fit them myself so its only my time I lose if they are crap, but them I'm back to square 1!

Should I haggle for a set of coilies :grin: :grin:

What do you reckon???

I doubt very much I would get my money back! They are the correct springs but for some reason my car is too low on them???
I'm wishing I had gone for the eibachs now, but they were another £50!

Back to the question though - would any of you lot stick these plastic spacers in your springs???

I wouldn't use anything like that, fitting a lowering kit and then raising the car back up seems a bit pointless

I don't think they are meant to be fitted on a lowering kit?!?
I think they are meant to give extra height to std. when towing??

I'll email them back see what else I can do, I'm going to end up with no floor and front spoiler soon - keep catching things!!!

just an update...

today I recieved my spanking eibach -20mm!!!

Can't wait to get them on, either 2moro or Sat!!!

In the end Weitec would only give me 10% discount on a set of coilovers, making them about £420 (as opposed to about £470!) so I passed on their offer and done a deal with Venom Msport for eibachs!

Will let you know how I get on!
