R800NER Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 When it comes to suspension, I am a total nooby and have very little knowledge of what's out there. My friend keeps telling me to get coilovers (but then again, he is a regular drifter on driftworks) and he said that I should get these for my zed: HSD HR Monotube Coilovers. http://www.hsdcoilovers.com/ He says they are great. To be honest, I just want more info on practicality, how good they are and whether they are worth it?? The group buy will be lowering the price as low as £560inc VAT... Any basic info or opinions appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 The obvious question is why do you want to fit them? Is it just to lower the car, for handling, or you planning on doing trackdays or the 'Ring etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLizard Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Excellent mod for me as the car is on the track a lot of the time, if your using it to drive around on the roads then personally i probably wouldnt of bothered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R800NER Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Just wanted to go a bit lower eventually. He said I might as well get coilovers. To be honest, I am unlikely to track more than once a year as I am going to buy an MK2 MR2 or a Subaru for a track car project, might as well put the money towards that instead?

Ian Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Mine is a road car & I went for coilovers. The main reason was the fact that I could adjust the height if I found that the car was too low to get around whereas I couldnt have done that with springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a great price for coilovers, whereas your likely to be paying £200 or so just for the springs. If its just for appearance purposes then springs is the way to go.

IanS16 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I agree with what everyone has said so far but at that price you arent too far off a set of springs so I'd go for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neodc Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 They seem very cheap for full coils, usually cheap isnt good on that kinda thing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
