Thinking about a set of Coilovers. Any idea where I can get these, much it cost including fitting, and what brands to go for etc.?

Tein make good coilovers for the UK roads

Think Hypertech sells Tein

Anything up to £2500

Also explore the adjustable 'standard' shocks option.. to go along with your ?Tein? Springs. I've had coilovers (few mates have had them too) and to be honest, although they were expensive and a bit bling (fully adjustable, etc) they are just toooo hard for our crap roads IMO.

The best set-up I've had is damping adjustable shocks and lowered & uprated springs, enough to fiddle with to tailor to your own style, but not too harsh for day to day use............ however, if you are planning to use the Scoob as a toy and a shed-load of trackwork, then coilovers may come into their own as track tarmac tends to be snooker table smooth, specially compared to UK roads, so you wont notice/care about a stiff ride.

Cheers,

John,

I went for D2's imported from New Zealand. For your car you are looking @ £720 (delivered). they are pillow ball mount, 36 point settings for firmness (damping) and height adjustable by upto 120mm. Piss easy to fit and mine arrived in 3-4 days :icon_rendeer:

after a wee bit of adjustment in the damper settings (which is easy to do) I've now got them working perfectly for my liking.

talk to cusco kid, he`s the man to see when it comes to these type of things

[thewelsho]

Thanks guys, thats a lot to think about. I'm lookingto spend no more than £700 so I guess that limits my choice. I'll maybe talk to Duncan about those street oens and those adjustable doo dahs that Grant mentioned.

Thanks again,

J

Coilover are defo a bit firm for our roads but they are good...i've got Tein super street with standard top mount as i think pillowball will make it firm than i would want.

PS.Welsho you was giggling away like a kid when the boost came on in my car...hahaha...how did you like it on the low boost setting?

Peter, I thought that when I first put my D2's on but afterplaying about with the damper settings (36 point) I have found them pretty comfortable even on our sh*tey roads :icon_rendeer:
