Guest XR09 Guests Posted 17/06/11 04:21 AM Share Posted 17/06/11 04:21 AM Stuff me that's dear... what coilovers ?Polly bushes give more feel. There's good and bad in that.They will make sharp bumps more pronounced. So will coilovers. Have a tyre even slightly out of balance and you will notice it. Once again that's a good and a bad thing.Some mornings on the what to work at 5am, when I am still tired and want to sleep. I wish I still had std suspension. Every other time I am glad I don't.Mine are adjustable. To a point. Spring weight is still spring weight and they are only dampening adjustable and not pre-load.I would ring around on that price though if they are Teins or less.

kartman Member 88 Member For: 15y 10m 4d Posted 18/06/11 01:08 PM Share Posted 18/06/11 01:08 PM Wasn't there a mention of coil overs in that first quote and not the pedders quote? I think it could be a bit steep. But it depends on the coil over. The TIEN stuff that I sell rides better than standard by far with adjustable shocks, I've not had any customers with it fitted not be happy. Same goes for bushes, I use factory rubber for stock cars or Superpro for modified cars as they are softer and transmit less road noise, they are more compliant than other Nolothane products so they don't break the car or your back either.
