anyone know anywhere in south wales as far as bristol that are good at fitting coilovers...id imagine any garage could fit them but having them set correctly is a different matter!

cheers

ive searched a bit for drop links also some say you need them some say you dont. i dont wana slam it the full 65mm just 40(ish) maybe 50max!

can anyone point me in the right direction if needed.ive looked on awesomes site but tbh i cant find them!

What make are they?

You shouldn't need shorter droplinks in that case.

I'd reccomend getting some shorter rear bumpstops from a Seat Ibiza.

I started a thread about it a while ago.

ok well if you could show me a link or give me prices ect that would be great.

thanks for your help

anyone know where to get the best drop links?

ford mondeo drop links are the ones iirc

have a run over to AVPerformance in burton on trent

book it in 1st with BEN tel.01283548483

it mite be a bit far but hes the man

have a day out while he does it..

Unit 18 are near Wellingborough, which is about 2 hours drive for you. I know that sounds like a long way to go, but Ross (Lummox) and Ally (AllyTech) are very, very good, at exactly the sort of thing you want done. They just ooze credibility and you get to see them working too. The roads around their workshop are good for testing driving through bends, high speed stability and the way in and out will allow you to determine whether the suspension is supple enough for you or not.

They're not the cheapest (they probably charge 75-80% of VW dealer rates), and they are a reasonable drive away, but in your neck of the woods, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

There is also JKM in Portsmouth, who are site sponsors,

I have also met Ninja_Alex who works with Browns, somewhere in Oxfordshire. He struck me as the sort of person I'd let work on my car. His family have been selling and servicing Skodas for a very long time, so that could be some form of recommendation if you don't want to drive all the way to Wellingborough.

Both Lummox (Unit 18) and Ninja_Alex (Browns) have built Fabia vRS estates and if you search about you'll see examples of both running good coilover setups.
