MrSweden Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 I have polo coils om my starlet. I don't think they are shit. Have had alot of Volkswagens before with Ta-Technix coilovers. Sure, they are stiff, but what a hell, you can lower the car, and for being that cheap you cant really complain Quote
Dean_mc88 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 The set I made are still going I made proper poly bushs for the rear so they didn't collapse. Quote
5e colin Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) dean i am not on about collapsing its the other isseu of the seals leaking on the rods making the shock ly dead on its springs turning the car in a death trap on b roads my last set only lasted 1 year or so id say when you live somewhere where the roads are like snooker tables it will be perfect but ruf roads and they wont last pissing time i deleted the budget content as i think its not worth it will update it in a whiile for the better brands>>cars The set I made are still going I made proper poly bushs for the rear so they didn't collapse. you only did the rears ?

Dean_mc88 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Yea, wasn't having a dig at your comments or anything like that was just giving my experience with them and yes only did the rears as I had a set of front cusco. The Rears for me were solid and looked a lot easier to mod than the fronts. Quote
SkyeEP81 Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 So has anyone tried rx7 coilovers? I need new shocks for my ep81 and I'd rather upgrade than go for stock stuff. Do you need to modify them in any way? Or do they just bolt on? Quote
5e colin Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Yup Skype there much better simple to fit to front topmount are direct fit the rear mount needs drilling out 1mm enough meet left on bush the adjustable damper1s are 10/6 the non damper 1s are 8/6 kg I have them on my Starlet already Quote
