Starlet__SR Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Are you still running the old oil filled shocks? I changed all mine to the kyb excel g gas shocks and they work very well with tein springs. D Quote

You'll kill a set of coilovers in that kind of area.D Quote

You'll kill a set of coilovers in that kind of area.DI mean its not that bad but jus at the mo its far to low n when i looked at the shocks theres only like 20mm clearance so ive got next to no dampin :S i was thinkin meisters would be the boys Quote

I use tein s techs as I wanted a mixture of comfort and handling, I get good clearance and dampingD Quote

Starlet__SR Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Might be worth investigating your current setup. See if theres anything odd. Coilovers are an expensive way to cure it lolD Quote
rob_bower Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 i drive alot of bumpy b roads daily to and from work and have meisters they are very comfy and handle very well actually comfier than my kyb and rsr spring combo i had before!hth Rob Quote
Simon Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Depends what your budget will allow but a good set of springs and good shocks will proably be better for what you want i'm running koni adjustables and whitleline springs and it's not massivley low but is a nice blance between grip and comfort.There are some Koni shock in the for sale section atm.

Starlet__SR Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Like I said, coilovers are good for what they are, but might not be the answer to Rob's problems. Only downside with coilovers is alot of bumpy roads will kill them very quickly. A good spring and shock combo will outlive a set of coilovers anyday. And be more cost effectiveD Quote
