can anyone identify my coilovers?

[suj]

i got some coilovers on my car, but need some standard ones, but i don't know what they are called (the came with the car)
they have red springs, blue lowering/raising nuts/bolts (don't know the terminology sorry)
the blue is like a blue-y kind of turquoise-y colour!

as i need to get some standard suspension for my car as my insurance company are being prats, also need to get a standard exhaust, i'll try and get a pic of the exhaust for another thread!

if you are interested in a swap please PM me btw!

 

[Dolly_Gti]

yes your in brum and need standard suspension lol! have mine 26k of an R reg 16v before my old man throws them away. not too intresting in swopping though.

 

[suj]

haha how much you looking for them mate? PM if you want

 

[Dolly_Gti]

£20 for the lot. just to get rid lol

 

[suj]

ok cool mate, i will get back to you, as i might have a swap, as i have no real use for the coilovers once i put standards on.

ok cool, i need to know the bloody make first lol, does anyone know what they are?

why not just wind them upto standard height?
Insurance companies are more worried about ride height than what struts and springs are on the car

[Dolly_Gti]

if they are silver struts, red springs, with blue spring holders they are probably the ones on ebay

raceland
janspeed
hottuing

as i don't want the insurance company to turn around and suddenly after an accident say i'm not insured!

well googling pictures its either raceland or TA Technix, looking more like TA's i think, i will double check, does it say anywhere on the suspension what they are?

 

[Aguilo]

it could Be V-Maxx too

 

[suj]

yeah V-Maxx look the same as the TA's

 

[suj]

also do they fit on a 1.4 97 ibiza? as my mate wants them, so he might buy them off me?

 

[EnGbudd]

My TA technix actualy say TA technix on them just under the springs where they attach to the hub.

 

[suj]

oh really? ok i'll have a look
the ones you got can they fit a valver? my mate also has a 1.4, and might want the suspension?

Apprantly the ones i got can fit any 6k ibiza but people usually go with the golf front coilovers as they can take more weight i.e the valver being a heavier engine. So i dunno, they probably will fit.

so it can go on a 1.4, as my mate has the same as yours, and wants my suspension, but i wasn't sure if it would fit etc. thanks for that mate!

ok so suddenly today i get a phone call from my insurance company saying
"we quoted you £300 extra premium for your fully adjustable coilovers, but it was a mistake, and due to this mistake we are willing to knock it down to £50 for the rest of the year (6months)"
i said here you go, take it, and ran so not for sale now! sorry people!

 

[suj]

ok so i went to adjust the suspension today, as i wanted to play around to maybe get it lower, then noticed there is no bolt thing to change the height of the damper, just to stiffen/loosen the spring, so i guess these are definitely not fully adjustable coilovers right? (sorry i've never owned a set) they just have 2 rings below the spring!
