Coilover Question

[Aimez]

AP's are next on my list as the have had positive feedback from user on here, and the quality and price seems good.

Not looking for a massive drop as the roads by me are shocking, but want an improvemnt in handling, ride qulaity and looks so it seems like the sensibly choice.

Any advise is welcome on this as there seems to be loads of info out there and but none specific

The reason I am choosing Weitecs over AP is they are not much more money for slightly better quality if that helps. Yes you can spend hours reading through old threads about this I spent 3 hours last night!

Thanks for the link DPM I will compare all prices but think I may have decided already!

Im really not sure now

I think im kinda scared about fooking things up too, cause it will be a expensive mistake if i get it wrong

HI
Quality wise , not much differences in both
I know I have sold some AP`s over Witec`s because of the colour of the springs
But I am sure with either of them 2 , you will not go far wrong

Not really you can sell them on if you don't like them, someone on here will have them but yeh you'd make a small loss. I have been umming and ahhing about this for well over a year tbh!
Will be giving Awesome a call tomorrow afternoon I think to purchase!

yeah thats a good point Aimez, thanks for the advice.

Weitecs it is then, all i need to do now is find the cash lol!!!

 

[Aimez]

Don't forget you need wheel alignment done after as well not sure how much that cost thou about £30 maybe?

 

[Proff_CUPRA 180]

Yeah got a place near me that can sort it.

Gonna get them fitted i think cause all my tools and that are at my parents and they aint got the space for me do it cause of my dads project cars.

plus gonna get some spacers on the back too.

 

[Aimez]

Yeh I got spacers too, I am still trying to get someone to fit them for me on the cheap but no one wants to help me

 

[Proff_CUPRA 180]

Aimez if you lived closer to me then i would fit them for ya (for free obviously)

 

[Aimez]

lol wish someone nearer would say that lol! I would like to help fit them, will ask a mate he does car bit but don't think he has even fitted coilovers and he is a bit rubbish at getting round to things!

 

[Proff_CUPRA 180]

To be fair its a pretty straight forward job, would take about half a day to do, but another pair of hands is always a bonus.

I need my dad to move some of his stuff off the drive for a day so i can work on mine there, I think it will kill me to see someone else doing it and having to pay them, but thats just my personal opinion lol, but if needs must n all that lol.

Have you got anyone off here who is local that may be able to give you a hand?

 

[Aimez]

don't think so I mentioned helping fitting stuff at the last meet and no one seemed interested! lol I would help and buy them dinner their loss lol!

 

[Proff_CUPRA 180]

Well that aint good is it??

I think someone is passing of a great oppurtunity here to have a free lunch and talk to a really cool girl about cars!!!

Whats going on!!!

 

[Aimez]
