A picture of my unfitted coilovers.

[depresion]

I've been told the Eibach coilovers are alot better on the twisties.

At 2.5 times the price you would hope they are better

Bought a set of these for myself late last week, eager to fit them now but the postman came when i was out, so neighbour took them.

Now shes away out and i cant get them from her

break in god damn it!

hi mate how u finding the coilovers overall iv just bought a set after seeing your thread thought i may give them a go??

cheers

 

[Rosco906]

im waiting to see if anyone else has to buff them down also before i buy as i would image that would void the warranty

 

[Matty.]

what you mean buff them down?

 

[mixupz]

I have a set of V-maxxx coilies bought second hand off a m8 on here for £150 ABSOLUTELY well worth it! my rear end is probably the lowest out of the Mk4 lot! pluss i havent taken out the adjuster cups out of the yet....

the front could do with being lower....is there anyway i can achieve this as they are already on its lowest setting?

 

[Matty.]

my rear end is probably the lowest out of the Mk4 lot!

really?

 

[mixupz]

sorry to burst your AIR bubble!! but that is a picture of an ibiza on AIR cusion suspension lol and i meant on this forum, barring the pic when Rash had his rear shocks out (or what ever it was he did to get his dangly bits scraping on the tarmac)

 

[Matty.]

haha fair enough

i think i just killed my hamster better go check

 

[fr-tdi]

what you mean buff them down?

dont need buffed down, with my kit the top mounts supplied with the kit need bored out about 2mm cos the coilover legs dont fit thru them!

the bit in the centre wont come through so u gotta bore the centre out so itll slide thru!!

 

[Matty.]

How did you bore it through? Drill?

 

[Matty.]

Got mine in and got a few problems;

-Didnt get an adjuster key thing, anyone know where to get one saves me messaging the guy and getting one all the way from Berlin
-My dad says they look bigger than the suspension which is on mine currently, is this true? or Correct?, got a 1.2 ibiza


Just can see my luck they wont fit or something will go wrong

hi
just fitted the same coilovers to mine the fronts wound all the way down their but doesn't seem to be much clearance betwwen the coilover and the wheel is the ok?
also i havnt had chance to buy the shortened drop link whill it be ok for a few days until i buy them?

Your help would be much appreciated as my cars currently in pieces.

[Mr_Dave]

as long as you're not going for serious drops (over around 60mm iirc) you shouldn't have any problems with the standard droplinks imo. mine's down around 45mm and there seems to be about 30mm clearance between droplink and the driveshaft..

 

[shorney01]

very swish

 

[LUFC]

ok cheers but its the space between the tyre and the coilover ther about and inch or so thats it, is that ok.
its just with the standard set up theirs a massive gap between the tyre and suspension strut bit.

 

[holmesy55]

whats the verdict with these then? good quality?

i know more often than not you get what you pay for but i really want coilovers now and if they arent causing any problems and people think they are good enough il have to purchase a set.
