Coilovers wanted

ZS Phil · 29-01-13, 11:29 AM

Hi all, after a set of coilovers for a 180 either AVO or Gaz, have to be un-siezed and not leaking. Height and stiffness adjustment are a must.

Let me know what you got. Cheers, Phil

Upgrading from the civic ones now or is this for another car? How did they fair after a year of use on the diesel out of interest?

Hey, the civic ones are still going strong thanks, been on since the October before last. I just want to upgrade because you can't adjust stiffness of the civic ones so when you go really low they get quite soft.They are fine for a 50mm drop or so though.

Fair play then mate, wondered how they were doing a while ago. I thought if going very low you would start to notice the difference but if theyre still going strong you cant complain i suppose.
Looked good on them too. Anyway I hope you get a response about the proper setup for it.

Any interest on new?

May be interested, depends on what make / model you are offering and at what price. Im not exactly flush at the moment hence looking for second hand but let me know whats on offer

why not change the springs for stiffer ones?

ZS Phil · 30-01-13, 07:23 AM

That's a good idea but I wouldn't know where to find any.

they will likely be 2.25" or 2.5" internal springs, so you need to measure internal diameter, from there work out a suitable rate and length.
they come up on forums from track car users second hand, or new you could try faulkner springs or ebay, jjc on ebay.
why not post a wanted across the forums?

Its a good idea with the springs but if Im going to all that trouble I might as well upgrade the dampers too at the same time for little extra money. Cheers for the PM though, I appreciate it.
