Hi people, ive been looking at springs/coilovers.

Cant find any coilovers but found a few springs from

Apex -35mm £89

PI -40mm £94

Cobra -40mm £122

Eibach -35mm £135

Ventura -40mm £79

Spax -40mm £80 through Gold. :D

Quite a hard ride but no rubbing probs which I believe some of the Pi guys get?

Hi Guys

I did the OMP Brand 40mm but the ride is horrible :( do you recon I should change the original shocks..?? if yes what type and from where can I order..

thanks

[Froston]

what do u mean "the ride is horrible" ? is it just hard or...?

[Froston]

Where is it that you buy oyur stuff from when you go gold?

Is it form the link "Tune-A-Car" Just in the TOC Navigation "Quick Links" Bar?

[97paseo]

Join Gold & u'll know, it's not Tune-a-car. ;)

Got ROC springs on mine -40mm, dirt cheap about £60 from memory (staff discount from work) not too harsh a ride. Only problem on mine, cos I got the 2" cat back system you occasionally get the odd knock from it on the chassis when going over speed ramps <_<

Nothing a bit of tweaking won't sort out though

Only a new owner of the cynos 1997 1.3l or paseo as youz call it

i was looking at coilovers on eBay.com

and there pretty cheap

a few little questions i need to know

1.Can i keep my existing shocks?

2.Whats the difference between rubber perches and aluminium ones?

3.which ones are best to use?

also i'm looking for clear lights and i hear there not made

surly someone in the world is making them or thinking of making them in the near future

if anyone could help i be very grateful

thanks in advance

You sure thats not the backbox knocking on that metal hanger thing? Thats the problem I had. ;)

Could be, but it's too cold to be lying on the ground to check at the minute, or I'm too soft

I just wrapped duck tape around the bracket & sorted a new box hanger, problem solved. :D

[matt_hillyard]

anyone have any idea on what the cost is to have springs fitted and how much to get the tracking sorted?

Im just trying to sort my funds out and i didnt know how much it was to get the springs fitted?

Oh i like the duck tape fix If it works and solves the problem do it thats what i say!!! :D

[97paseo]

I paid £85 to get my springs fitted but thats quite high, £20 odd for the tracking.

[cheeky_rick]

I got spax on mine, £80 for the springs £40 to get them fitted, its a nice ride, very firm, and handles very well with my 17's would recomend them

[matt_hillyard]

cool, that isn't too bad and on my 17's it should look good.

Rick when you had your spoiler fitted did they have to drill new holes? I noticed that you had an si spoiler like me and i want to fit a new spoiler and didnt know if it was a big job. How much was inc the spoiler? Is it the booster tuning spoiler?

[cheeky_rick]

New holes were needed, as the old ones are no where near right, so they were welded up then smothed over, so its a fair bit of work, but when mine went in to the body shop it was because a brick hit the back of my car so i thought i would get the spoiler on at the same time, it is the booster tuning spoiler, and in total it cost me about £500 but is so worth it, as you can see it looks wicked

:D
