Coilovers one for the Rallye lads'!
« on: 12 February 2007, 00:17 »
I can't remeber if Jv got the KW V1's or Tropher but can you guys tell me what the ride is like on and off track, are they adjustable on or do you set them before you put them on?
I'm ready to get some for the Rallye and been told the V1's are they way to go?
What kinda prices did you guys get or if you have a better option on the Rallye?

Cheers in advance
Jay :smiley:

hmmmm, kind of has a ring to it though dont you think. :laugh:

Not sure what's on mine, maybe jv knows but I don't think they're adjustable. Coilovers maybe something for the future for me as I've got other tuff to sort out first. Anyone rate Weitec ? Apart from the guy at C&R who sells them ! :laugh:
......now officially dubless.

Well gibby apprently weitec is the same company as FK's but the difference I was told was Weitec is mild steel and V1's are stainless steel? Not sure, but around £200 diff in price.

I've just sourced some Porsche Boxster's calipers (on the cheap) and what a nightmare job MKIII banjos, Seat carriers, but will end up with 305mm discs and nice brakes!
Nearly there, guys nearly.  :grin:

I think I'm going for the V1's coilovers, but me thinks my down pipes are blowing a tad, I'm scared to ask what kind of prices :undecided: :cry:

Joe yeah I feel the same, but Topher or JV thinks me needs a 60mm drop! :grin:
