sgtarg Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Hi all... Found these on the E Bay... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F142288251081 Thoughts for getting your car stance with adjustable options for a bit less then going pro track set up???

ZMANALEX Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 You would be well advised to find out exactly what you are getting here, as there is very little info in the advert. Usually you get what you pay for and these are definately on the cheap side. The advert states that the brand is KW which they are certainly not, unless I am missing something. Also it does not state if they are true coilovers or not. Might be worth a punt, however that will depend on your expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that price expectations would be fairly low, just to get the car sat where I wanted and the ride height and stance. Wouldn't be looking for major adjustability or track times, but would a set of Tein S-Tech Springs 17mm front / 15mm rear work better for similar but less money?

ZMANALEX Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 At least with the Tein, you know exactly what you are getting and with it being a moderate drop your geo will still be within factory specifications without the need for expensive adjustable front camber arms and adjustable rear camber and toe arms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtarg Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Good shout, glad I asked! I would of had no idea they were not KW genuine.... I will put some money away for next year and look at the Tein Coilovers and like you say adjustable front and rear camber and toe arms. You never know it could be a bargain for coilovers but it could be a risk and at the moment I don't have the time / funds to deal with correcting my geo. Much appreciated advice!

Ekona Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Waaaaay too cheap. They’ll either wear out in a year, or you’ll wish they would as the damping will be so bad you’ll kill the ride quality. Youll still need a geo after you’ve replaced any part of the suspension, or annually at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtarg Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Yeah good idea. I will look at Geo from local MOT centre, his son has a 350Z so should be a safe enough bet. Once springs are changed will get it booked in. I've ordered the Tein set. Erm if I change my wheels to same diameter but wider track eg. 8 to 9.5 at rear will I need geo again? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Nah, not on just a wheel change, but definitely the springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
