I am still finalising prices but it won't be crazy money.. The idea is to offer an alternative service using as good or mostly even better parts for a fair price..
Using the Clio as a GT car you must need ear plugs .. and on those tyres very brave.. However i did use a Mk2 golf 16v for my runs to Germany back in the day so i feel your pain ... But fuel was a bit cheaper then ..
He did say early in his post he won't be driving in the wet much .. So i suggested AD08R for the drier months
For the ideal use of the car ( B road rocket ) in the dry the AD08's will be hard to beat
So Kingpins outer legs are back from the Powdercoaters now the rebuild can start. New shafts to a higher spec than the standard parts are being made to replace the badly scored ones.
146 is the car of a mate of NathanH on here.. He says its a good car .. might be worth a look.. Clearly its been loved even with a few wrong bits on it..
The problem is not the springs ... it's the relationship between shorter springs and a std stroke length damper..
I might take 10mm off and see how it works ..
My sportlines dropped the rear quite a bit from std .. But it seemed high on the rear to start with .. Perhaps my rear springs were std 182 rather than cup .. i will check ..
Mine seems less able to pick the inside rear up now it's on the sportlines..
I have been kicking aroung the thought that given a lot of owners are on lower rear ride height springs the standard damper will give too much droop ..
Do for example the Mark Fish Koni's account for this and have a shorter stroke ??
I was toying with the idea to Machine the damper shaft on the...
Just give them a try... Word is Cooksports are the stiffest of the lower ones... You are welcome to try my OEM ones if it helps to decide what's for you ...
I fitted Sportlines and I think they handle great... Not too harsh and look good a little lower...
Fiona's car looks great on red seat belts.... Not sure on cost but she might be able to help..
I'm with kingpin on the ride height on OEM .. Very 4x4 once you see one on Sportlines or Cooksports
OEM Eibachs are quite expensive .. That's why most people go for Sportlines or Cooksport or Mark Fish springs..
A lot of owners take the OEM off and store them away to re fit if they ever sell and OEM is what the buyer wants..
You might get someone on here do a swap OEM for the Cooksports...
And also .. This " Genuine Sachs Parts " Myth...
Do you think Sachs make their own O rings , Seals and bushes... No they don't , They buy them from companys that do .. just like anyone else can ..
Exactly ...
BG charge more and give less.. I think they have a monopoly on servicing as they are sole agents and as such overcharge ..
I wonder how they would reply if people suddenly started asking to see their graphs ??
For that price i would buy them and try them .. they will be a bit narrow but PCD will be the same.. only question is the ET ( offset ) but it won't be far out ..
If they work let us know as it sometimes snows in UK and steel wheels are a good idea..
