smiffy 0 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Due to a sequence of incredibly s**t events, I find myself in a situation where i require a new set of coilovers. Anyone advise on the best/most reputable sets? Not really after budget as I want to do the job properly and get a decent set...any comments welcome Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Well realy depends on money. KW V3 are the dogs but V2 are very good. I know where I can get V2s for about £900 for the R32, but gonna shop around stillKoni still make very good coilieslist can still go on Link to post Share on other sites
smiffy 0 Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 aye it's a never ending list...I'm drawn to FK's and Eibach's like a moth to a flame...looking to spend as little as possible but still come out of it with a quality set of coilys (typical i know ) Link to post Share on other sites

smiffy 0 Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 yea i've had a look at them, seem to be one of the better deals about Link to post Share on other sites
smiffy 0 Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 tempted to go for the Eibach Pro-Street S set, anyone know about these? Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 KWv3s, got them on my S4, leave the factory settings and drop about 30mm max and you'll keep ride comfort but the handling will be awesome. Any lower and they get very hard.Or for a little cheaper get weitec hicon tx's, same kind of performance as KWv3s as I believe KW make them, but just not as indestructible Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I cant quite stretch to V3s as I need a clutch and to fiddle around with tubby and pipework so V2s it will be for me Link to post Share on other sites

xyber 1 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hicons tx are basically V3s but zinc plated instead of stainless but half the price. I think Vealige has the on his R32 now? Link to post Share on other sites
