JoKeR Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 As above please. Seen them around £500 odd but wondering if someone is selling up or a trader has some cheapish. Can purchase first week of August or straight away depending on price. Thanks That's what she 'Zed' :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 dont just dont worse coilovers i have used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKeR Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Really? I've been recommended these by a few and never owned any coilovers on any car before so I take people's advise seriously. What's the drama with them and what would you recommend instead mate. I'll be using it for fast road and some track use.

StevoD Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 not all on a Zed granted but i have Owned Miesters R, HSD mono pro, driven cars on KW and BC and HSD Dual Tech are the worse i have used,The Expensive HSD the MonoPro where lovely and at the time the DUal techs wernt out so when i got me Z i went dual techs as HSD was good last time and im far from impressed by them. a little comparison KW are fanatastic as there firm and solid yet give a smooth ride The Dual Tech seem to be the opposite They Give a crashy hard ride whilst still being very boaty and lose We have played around trying different damping setting and adjusting the tension on the spring but when im doing my drifting and pictures from Castle combe at japfest prove even on hardest setting the car was still boating to a point that on some pictures you cant see the tyre wall as its in the arch i have never had this on a set of coilovers before, Even the lexus is200 version of the dual techs dont come close to that of the monopros there is no stiffness in them just a crashy rebound, I mean as always its horse for courses but i was unimpressed and when everything else is sorted i will be swapping out for something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKeR Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Ok mate fair point. I think I wanted these after being recommended as they seemed cheaper than others around. Are there others I can get for the same or less price? Cheers mate That's what she 'Zed' :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Not to my knowledge mate, closest is the BC price wise or get the hsd monopro versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascade88 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Throw in my thoughts after using the dual tech after bc br on my 2006 impreza; The HSD's are indeed more boat'ish that the bc's even on full hard damping - just their setups with spring rate and match to dampers. The ride on roads over bumps etc I felt was the same quality on both, both settings around mid stiffness. Build quality though I would give an extra point to the HSD's, seemed more chunky / well built such as the lock rings.. At around £565 vs £700(?) If I was using the car for looks rather than fast road / track I would go for the HSD's again for sure, in my younger days I had Racelands and the such going for pure looks and they are nothing like that low of a standard. Hope this helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKeR Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 It does help thanks mate I'm still undecided. Maybe StevoD had a bad experience and they could be really good or maybe it is just how they are. I'll need a few more opinions before making my mind up yet though but thanks so far guys it does help me decide.

glrnet Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Seems SteveO went to some lengths to explain why he didn't like them. I'd say that's more than a "bad experience". He's not the first I've heard say this either. Sent from my Zed using Nangkang tyres front, RE040's rear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
